Golden Globe Final Predictions

Hello all,

Clayton here again. I know I put up my predictions in an earlier post but being Blog Owner gives you privileges, like changing your mind. Without the commentary, I'm posting them again. The only changes worth mentioning is Jack Nicholson is my alternate for The Bucket List in the Musical/Comedy category and I dropped Ridley Scott as a top five nominee for Best Director in place of Julian Schnabel for The Diving Bell and Butterfly.

Please make sure to read on the Main Site the previews of some of the other writers such as Josh Kirschenbaum and Joey Magidson. Also, Joey, Tom Houseman, and myself made a trip to the movies to see Juno. A night out with the New York guys as we like to call it. Make sure to read our reactions to the film here. Tomorrow some dust may clear with the Golden Globe Nominations or it may cause some havoc on Oscar sites across America, either way it is a big day. See you tomorrow with the results.
