Golden Globes

Normally I would make my predictions on the winners of the Golden Globe awards. However, without the ceremony taking place some of the fun has been taken out of it for me. I was going to do it anyway but I figured since nothing else is the same this year than why should I? I will watch the press conference though but this really sucks. I support the writers 100% but it still sucks.
