69th Annual Golden Globe Awards – Nominations and Predictions
by Nicholas Robinson
Many of you, my faithful readers, may have been wondering where I’ve been these last couple of months. Well let me tell you, med school takes up a hell of a lot more time than you’d think. But, exams finished up yesterday and I figured I would start back posting for this Christmas break with current events. I know I’m a week late but here are the nominees for the 69th Annual Golden Globes! As usual my predictions are in bold and I have not seen all of the nominations so this list will be updated before the Globes air on January 15th. Enjoy!
