Golden Globes: 2015 – Final Predictions
This year has been a little difficult to prognosticate when it comes to awards. Many of these Golden Globes categories could easily go to any five of the nominees.
This Sunday Night on NBC (8pm ET), our winners will be revealed. Many movies can gain a major boost of momentum here, but we’re not predicting anything too outside-the-box.
The big awards for film will go to “Boyhood” and “Birdman,” while the big awards for television will go to “House of Cards,” and “Orange is the New Black.” We’ll see how it all plays out, but for now here are our choices for the 2015 Golden Globes.
After winners are announced Sunday we will update the Golden Globes page promptly with our predictions for the 2016 Golden Globes.
