Pre-Awards Thoughts:
The 69th Annual Golden Globes are right around the corner.
Let’s take a look at the nominees and who I think will be taking home the prize.
My predictions on the winners are in bold.

That being said, I think I’m going to go with my choice ofwhat I want to win)

Meryl Streep – The Iron Lady
Tilda Swinton – We Need to Talk About Kevin
BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA

Jessica Chastain – The Help

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A MOTION PICTURE
Kenneth Branagh – My Week with Marilyn
Albert Brooks – Drive

Michel Hazanavicius – The Artist (Payne crafted a wonderful movie, Allen turned in his best film in years, and Scorsese didn’t let 3D get in the way of his storytelling. Still, I have to give Hazanavicius his due for presiding over the festivities of this movie)

Scratch that. Just nominated. My bad.
