GOLDEN GLOBE PREDICTIONS----

THE GOLDEN GLOBES---ALWAYS UNPREDICTABLE,                               USUALLY A BIT INSANE



I have been going to the Golden Globes so long, that the first time I went, Marlo Thomas won for Best Newcomer (and that turned out well!!!). I love the Globes, because everybody drinks and you never know what will happen. There is so much hype centered around it, that people need to be reminded that it's usually only around 90 people who vote each year. For a few years, the Globes even had to go off the air. They were fired from NBC because of illegal voting procedures. I know this, because my father was the lawyer for the Globes for years, and I got all the inside info. I'll let that rest with my father. They are legit now.


Here we go:  I wish myself a lotta luck. These match-ups are crazy, and the Globes have very mixed up categories with people and movies and shows competing against each other who really belong in separate categories. And, some of the winners are not necessarily who I'd personally like to win.

Photos are of people who might have an "extra-special good time" at the Globes.
