Awards 2010: Golden Globe Winners

My Golden Globe party turned out to be a lot more competitive than I anticipated going into the weekend. The telecast wasn't that stressful, but I was thrust into a predicting competition on who will win with a bunch of new friends that I just met. None of them already knew who was going to win, so I was prepped to take them all down. On the other hand, I hadn't a clue who was going to win the television categories, so I got most of those wrong. I didn't expect Boardwalk Empire to be as big a hit as it was last night, and I thought the HFPA would choose something radically different for Best Motion Picture (Drama). Instead, they stayed with The Social Network to make an entirely too predictable evening. Ricky Gervais did a great job, so I'll give the evening that.
