2010 Golden Globes Wrap-Up
The Golden Globes was a fun show to watch this year. Ricky Gervais's cutting remarks made me squirm in my seat but in a good way. He was so funny and really pushed the envelope – I couldn't tell if the crowd was into him or about to storm the stage and throw him out. I hope he gets asked back next year.
Let's see how I did with my predictions, shall we?
Best Motion Picture – Drama
I predicted The King's Speech (and rooted for Black Swan) to win and the winner was…The Social Network! I was really surprised by that one.
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama
I predicted Natalie Portman to win and the winner was…Natalie Portman! Like I said before, I don't know how anyone could have given a more amazing performance.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama
I predicted Colin Firth to win and the winner was…Colin Firth. I predict he will win the Oscar as well.
Best Performance by an Actress In A Supporting Role in a Motion Picture
I predicted Melissa Leo to win and the winner was…Melissa Leo!
Best Performance by an Actor In A Supporting Role in a Motion Picture
I predicted Christian Bale to win and the winner was…Christian Bale!
Best Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical
I predicted The Kids Are All Right to win and the winner was…The Kids Are All Right!
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical
I predicted Anne Hathaway to win and the winner was…Annette Bening! What did you think of Annette's hair that night? I think I liked it but it's getting slammed by the fashionistas.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical
I predicted Johnny Depp to win and the winner was…Paul Giamatti!
Best Animated Feature Film
I predicted Toy Story 3 to win and the winner was…Toy Story 3!

Best Screenplay – Motion Picture
I predicted Aaron Sorkin of The Social Network to win and the winner was…Aaron Sorkin of The Social Network!
I correctly predicted seven out of eleven categories – a 64% success rate. Good thing I didn't place any wagers! Next up, the Academy Award nominations, which will be announced on January 25th. I can't wait!
