FilmFemme

Prediction #1: I will not watch the Golden Globes and instead spend tomorrow morning reading recaps and looking at fashion photo galleries online instead of doing work.

Apart from that, here are my other predictions, keeping in mind that I haven’t actually seen all the nominees….actually, I don’t think that is an important part of predicting winners at all.

Best Motion Picture – Drama: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Winner: Slumdog Millionaire

Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture  – Drama: Kate Winslet, Revolutionary Road

Winner: Kate Winslet!

Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama: Sean Penn, Milk

Best Original Song: The Wrestler from The Wrestler, Bruce Springsteen

Winner: The Wrestler! (I cannot emphasize enough how much I love this song).

If I’m right about any of these, I’m going to be pretty pleased with myself.

Winner: FilmFemme, who was 8/14 in predicting the awards.  Maybe not so impressive, but over 50% which is pretty good in terms of my history of predicting things.
