2018 Golden Globes Predictions
Terence Johnson January 5, 2018 ArticleIt is crazy that it seems like just yesterday that we were still watching 2017 films and are now on the precipice of the first awards show of the year. The Golden Globes will air this Sunday and kick off what has ben one of the most unique film years and awards seasons in recent memory. There is no “true” front runner at the moment or underdog waiting in the wings like La La Land and Moonlight last year. Which makes the Globes, already a crazy difficult show to predict even harder. Are they going to be in star fucker mode or trying to do better than the Oscars mode? Did any studio send them fancy gifts to secure a win? These are all things you have to factor in and ven then they throw you for a loop. On the TV side, you can all but be assured that the new series will win a gajillion awards but there are some behemoths in contention that could change that. Anyways, here are my predictions for the Golden Globes.
