COLD & UNINSPIRED: GOLDEN GLOBE PREDICTIONS
I was attempting to write a profound essay about the pregnancy film trilogy (Juno, Knocked Up, Waitress), but I have a horrible cold in my sinuses and am not capable of doing much more than this.
Below is a very brief summary of who I would LIKE to win at the non-existent Golden Globes on Sunday. Rather than waste my time predicting who will win, I chose favorites. I haven’t even seen some of these films yet, to be honest.

Next
week I will probably look back at these choices and laugh, but for the
time being and with a cloudy head, they make perfect sense to me. Care to disagree with any of my choices or post your own?
Have a great weekend. If you need me, I’ll be swathed in blankets with a cup of English Breakfast tea and a Breathe-Right across my nose. Hot!
