Golden Globe Preview

The Globes are tonight (yay!!!), starring Tina Fey and Amy Poeller in their last hosting gig for the show (no!!!).

I'll be live blogging the event same as I have the last two years, because this show is just so much more fun than the Oscars lately! And contrary to popular belief, their winners have been pretty respectable. I mean, just look at this year's Best Director lineup: Anderson, DuVernay, Fincher, Inarritu, and Linklater. How do you choose a bad winner amongst those? You can't!

The proceedings start around 7:00 p.m. EST, so check back here for the post and refresh it throughout the night. Below I've listed my sure-to-be-inaccurate predictions, but what else is knew.
