78th Golden Globe Predictions

The time has come!

After weeks of critics groups, AFI, and NBR announcing their nominations and honorees, the Oscar season takes it up another level with the 78th Golden Globe awards. This year’s awards will be hosted by Tina Fey & Amy Poehler who is set to host the award show from separate coasts.  The ceremony will take place on Sunday, February 28th, 2021. With every year, predicting the Golden Globes is an adventure of its own and they are known for throwing curveball wins, so be on the lookout for some of those on Sunday, I’m looking at you, Jared Leto!
