Weigh in below with any comments, concerns, subplots and/or shocking upsets of your own, and we'll regroup here Sunday night to see where the chips fall. Or rather, drunkenly stumble to the stage, weave to the microphone, and then fall.

The Golden Globes: Like the People's Choice Awards, if the "people" were a potentially corrupt group of foreign press reporters. As such, it's best not to take these awards too seriously with regards to their impact on the Oscars. But, still: The Globes have a charm about them, and more often than not, they take more chances than the Oscars. (See: The Tourist; or don't, actually.) So, fun! Ahead, my crack predictions for which movie stars will stumble walk onto the stage to collect their newest trophies on Sunday night.

Expect the HFPA to go for the usual suspects. Johnny Depp! Annette Bening! That one movie about what the kids are doing these days with their newfangled computers! The Golden Globes may not always reward the actual best films and performers of the year (True Grit, anyone? Anyone!?) but they make for a dazzling show, fueled by star power and lots of booze. Look for tipsy winners' room speeches from these fine folks.

BEST ACTRESS (Drama): Natalie Portman, Black Swan
BEST ACTOR (Drama): Colin Firth, The King's Speech

The Golden Globes is my favorite award show of the year because there is an 85 percent chance that an intoxicated presenter will hand an award to an even more intoxicated celebrity, a 90 percent chance that Ricky Gervais will make a joke about this exchange and a 100 percent chance that I will be drunkenly liveblogging as this happens. Herewith, my predictions for this weekend's 68th Annual Golden Globe winners a.k.a. "the right picks," regardless of whether or not the Hollywood Foreign Press agrees.
