Golden Globes

Everyone who knows me knows that I'm a complete film nerd.  I say "nerd" in the most affectionate way possible...in the way that Mark Zuckerberg is a technological nerd.  No, I'll never make billions of dollars from my hobby/passion but I have a feeling that I also won't be sued by my best friend for it either.  Oh I just want to throw in a quick "yay" for Natalie Portman's win a few seconds ago at the Critics Choice Awards (which I am currently watching) for her utterly heartbreaking performance in "Black Swan".  It was absolutely the best female performance of the year, maybe of the past decade.  She carried that film on her diminutive shoulders. 

Onto the Golden Globes, broadcast this Sunday, which I consider the second most important award show of the year.  I know, I know what's so important about an award show anyway?  Well guess what?  This is my blog and the Globes are important to me.  They take my mind off of my everyday life, and I'm grateful for anything that accomplishes that. 

Key:
*Pink: Probable Win
*Blue: Should Win
*Red: Will win & should win
