Golden Globe Nominations and Predictions

For our purposes, I only predicted the movies of this year. The winner is marked with an asterisk (*) before the name, but please keep in mind that the winner isn't who I necessarily think SHOULD win but rather who I think will. I feel as though the Golden Globes almost nailed Drama with the exceptions of forgetting The Ghost Writer and Shutter Island but royally screwed up Comedy/Musical. What happened to well-reviewed films such as Scott Pilgrim vs. The World? Edward Norton's performance in Leaves of Grass? I would take a Steve Carell/Tina Fey Comedy/Musical nomination for Date Night over joint nominations for The Tourist when most critics stated that the movie's biggest problem was the lack of chemistry between the two leads.

At a later date, I will write what I feel the nominations should be and which movies should receive acclaim. For now, enjoy!
