68th Annual Golden Globe Award Predections

Tonight the 68th annual Hollywood Foreign Press Association's Golden Globe Awards will be presented and televised. They used to be a bigger deal then they are as they were the first award of the season to be televised and they were great indicates on who was going to pick up an Oscar in Marrch. However as award show dates have changed, it now seems like there is an award show on every 5 minutes and their stories about Sharon Stone sending all of them expensive watches so she could win for Casino, for which she did there impact has lessened a bit. However it is also one of the few shows that encourage the actors to drink before the television camera are on and that's always a good thing, well unless your name is Charles Sheen.
