If I picked the Golden Globes...

This Sunday the Golden Globes, the first big event of 2010's awards season which culminates with the Oscars on March 7, take place. As with past years, I have a friend who's been nominated, and I wish her the best of luck and sincerely hope she wins (she deserves it), even though I actually prefer another film in her particular category. Anyway, if I could pick the winners, the ones in bold capitals would come away victorious. Check back on Sunday to see how wrong I was.
