The Golden Globe award winners were previously announced on Sunday January 15th. After seeing the actual nominations I will post a more extensive post with my predictions for the Top 8 award winners.

Nice list, Professah.

And I truly hope that you are correct about Gary Oldman FINALLY getting an Oscar nomination.

His work as George Smiley in "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" is the best acting I have seen in quite a while.
