the golden globes are always my favorite awards show. they honor both tv and movies, both dramas and comedies making them a one-stop show. the only problem i have with this year's show is that there's a host, ricky gervais. the globes haven't been hosted in over 10 years and that's usually another thing that makes them more enjoyable. without a host, the show moves along faster and we actually focus on the awards, not the gimmicks. i really don't like gervais' comedy, either, so this year's show should be interesting. this morning the nominees were announced for the 2010 show and, well, they pretty much made up for the whole gervais thing. below's a list of the nominees and who i think will win.
