Awards: Golden Globes 2005: My Predictions
AAA01/04/2006

The only major prediction I would disagree with is Gwyneth winning best drama actress. I would say that this is Felicity Huffman's to lose...and it's unlikely she will. Awards grups love it when actresses physically change for roles.

192201/04/2006

In fact that was an absolute guess. Granted, these are all guesses. But for "best drama actress" I chose almost randomly.

192201/05/2006

OK, now I changed my prediction for that category, especially after having found out about the Screen Actors Guild Nominees.

Thanks once more for bringing me back to the right way.
