Golden Globes Predictions 2016

Yes, it’s that time of the year again – awards season! The Golden Globe nominees were announced last night. The show however, doesn’t air until 10th January 2016. But, discussing the nominees a month early is exciting, right? Once again, it’s a tough year…


Best Drama: 

Carol
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Revenant 
Room (pictured) 
Spotlight 

My Prediction: The Revenant or Carol

I’d Like the Winner to Be: Either of the two, but I loved Mad Max: Fury Road and Room. Spotlight is a strong contender also.

The Big Short
Joy (pictured)
