Golden Globes: My Predictions vs. Winners

Last night NBC aired the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards. With the three main award shows (Emmys, Golden Globes, and Oscars), I always make predictions. And more often than not, I get about 50% or less right. But, I lucked out big time last night when I only got four wrong, meaning I received an 84% this time around. If I'm not mistaken, that's the highest percentage I have ever had. Hopefully, this will set up some positive results for my Oscar predictions.

On the film side, I got 12 out of 14 correct, and on the TV side, I got 9 out of 11 correct; only two incorrect on each side, resulting in this unbelievable 84% correct. You can also view the list of nominees, winners, and my predictions on T.W.O.'s Golden Globes page.

Whenever I'm making my predictions, I always look at what people are saying online about these various TV shows, movies and actors, what awards they've received so far in the award season,  and compare them with my personal choices and then made my predictions. As I said the other day, my predictions are not necessarily for those who I personally want to see win (who should win), but rather who has the best shot at winning; sometimes, though, I make exceptions.

Now that the first major award show of 2011 is behind us, we can now look forward to the morning of January 25, when the nominations will be announced for the Academy Awards. Stay tuned to TV Watch Online for all the latest award season news, including finalists, nominees, winners, and much more.
