Tonight are the Golden Globes, the most-watched awards ceremony after the Oscars. The ceremony tends to have a much more loose vibe than the Oscars, and I think a good speech at these awards can really help some winners in their search for Oscar.
I'll be live-blogging during the ceremony, but here are my predictions and preferences for the film awards (I'll leave the TV awards to someone else- I'm basically pulling for Mad Men and 30 Rock in every possible category).

Will Win: Toughest call, but I'm gonna say Nine. Even with its bad reviews, the Globes love their musicals. In 1996, Evita beat Fargo for this award.... I can actually see this going to any of these except It's Complicated though.
