Golden Globe Predictions!

Tis the most wonderful time of the year. Ranch stars, olives medley, and mom's cheapo snackies galore shall take up the rest of my evening while I watch the great Ricky Gervais bring on the Golden Globes. Smooth move Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Way to vamp up my already favorite award ceremony.

Why not the Oscars, you may ask? Indeed I do tend to celebrate the Oscars in a more sociable fashion; however, they tend to get a little boring and we must amuse ourselves with conversation, scorecards, food, and drinks. But the Golden Globes! Until today, a first after 15 years, there used to be no host. And that was fine. The awards moved along quickly with no panache. And that was okay. Because the real entertainment is not centered on the stage but at the tables. Seriously. If I was in the industry I would prefer a table with friends, drinks, alcohol flowing, and the banter back and forth in a more relaxed party atmosphere than the stuffy formal ambiance the Oscars portray.

So sit back, don't take it too seriously, enjoy this appetizer before the Oscars air March 7th. Here are my predictions and drinking game!

Drinking Game: Every time someone references the Conan/Leno/NBC debauchery, drink up. Bottom line NBC deserves it.
