Golden Globe Contest

[Kam]

Not that i'm a big fan of these awards, and am anxiously awaiting the documentary (coming out i think in february) which exposes this award show for what it really is, but, to pass the time, how about we see who can pick the most correct guesses of the "big" categories.

Best Picture (drama): Cold Mountain
Best Picture (mus/com): Lost in Translation
Actor (drama): Jude Law
Actor (mus/com): Jack Nicholson
Actrees (drama): Nicole Kidman
Actress (mus/com): Diane Keaton
Director: Anthony Minghella
Screenplay: In America
Foreign Film: Monsieur Ibrahim

You can check out the nominees at the golden globes website (http://www.thegoldenglobes.com) and we'll see who picks the most correct. Now these are ALL based on my own guesses as to who the 'hollywood foreign press' is likely to pick, not my own personal picks. We should have another category for those.

yama wins! nailed a few of them. but wow, that was just plain boring.

although i did like the guy from The Office, he added some much needed humor to the surprisingly lifeless crowd.
