GlobePredixLikeWhoa

Yes, my pretty little chimps. It's that time of year again. That's right, it's time for the Globes to go cuh-razee. Remember that Munich snub last year? Okie-dokie.
Firstly, don't expect any update to my Oscar predictions on the sidebar until later tomorrow or Friday. This week has been jam-packed with accolades tossed around to various films, and I'm waiting until the smoke clears on Friday to offer my input on the week that was. After the Globe nominations, things usually settle down before things hit the fan when the guilds march in after the holidays.
But, before the Globes get us all shook up tomorrow, I think I'll lay down some predictions for tomorrow morning's announcement. After the nominations are announced, they'll be posted here with reaction and thoughts -- alongside that Oscar predix update.
