2012 GOLDEN GLOBE Winners

And so the Globes are over!! Three magical hours of boring speeches, trying-too-hard-to-be-funny lines and Ricky Gervais in all his hilarity. I spied a few red carpet hits and more than a few misses!!


 Below are the nominations for film categories in the 2012 Golden Globes, with my predictions highlighted in pink and the winners noted in green. Only 2 of my predictions changed over the last couple of weeks now that I've seen the film in question - BEST COMEDY OR MUSICAL - now THE ARTIST instead of 50/50 and BEST ACTOR IN A COMEDY OR MUSICAL - Jean Dujardin for THE ARTIST. I would still love JGL to win for 50/50, but I don't think he will. 


I got 7 out of 14 right and I had said for a few that who I predicted probably wouldn't win, but it's who I though deserved to win and in most cases the person who I thought might win instead did - Tilda Swinton and Meryl Streep are a prime example. Now we should have a better idea of what might happen at the Oscars...I've got a few more films to see before I can confirm my Oscar predictions.
