Is it really that time again? The nominees have been announced for the 72nd Golden Globe Awards, which will be taking place on Sunday, January 11, 2015. While it has become apparent over the last few years that the Golden Globes is much more of a popularity contest than other award shows, I am pretty…
As I watched tonight’s Golden Globe Awards, I was reminded why I have fallen out of favour with them in recent years. This particular awards show has become increasingly difficult to pick, since the Hollywood Foreign Press Association seems to select these awards out of a hat. They seemed to particularly love American Hustle, which…
So, it turns out that the Golden Globes are happening tonight. Even though I’ve cared less and less about the awards in recent years, I still sometimes luck out when predicting what will win. Here are my no-frills predictions, I’ll probably write a more in-depth wrap-up afterwards. Best Picture – Drama: 12 Years a…
Well, the Awards season is upon us once again, with the announcement of this year’s Golden Globe nominees. As you may know, I’ve fallen out of favour with the Golden Globes in the last few years, since they seem to occupy their own little world and are no longer really the Oscar predictor they once…
I kind of feel silly now. After all my ranting about how I only got four predictions right last year and that the Golden Globes are the Bizzaro Land of award shows, I ended up doing quite well with my predictions this year, even though a few of those correct predictions were pure guesses. I…
Despite my rant earlier today, I decided that I will indeed watch the Golden Globes. I’m going to post my “predictions” here as a formality, even though I’m not going to put too much thought into them. As such, it will definitely be interesting how many of these I actually get right. Expect the wrap-up…
There was once a time when you could say that the Golden Globes were a good way to predict what films may win at the Oscars. Usually the same films get nominated at both and there have been many occasions in which at least one of the two Best Picture winners would go on to…
The nominees for the 70th annual Golden Globes were announced yesterday. As always, I shall give my random thoughts: I’ve only currently seen two films each from the Best Picture Categories. Hopefully that will change by the time of the ceremony. Salmon Fishing in the Yemen really sticks out among the “Best Picture – Musical/Comedy”…
Boy was I off. The Golden Globes last night were not an enjoyable watching experience, as I only correctly predicted 4 of the 14 movie awards. Some were slight miscalculations, with my alternate picks ending up willing, while others seemed complete out of left field. The biggest surprise of the night for me was that…
This year I decided to write “predictions” in quotes as a way of acknowledging the Golden Globes is a bit of a sham of an awards show. At one time you can say that the Globes were a good way to see who will win at the Oscars. However, in recent years, you have had…
