Golden Globes 2021: My Predictions & the Winners
Slightly later this year due to the pandemic, awards season well and truly kicks off tonight with the Golden Globes, and as per tradition, here’s my annual predictions post.
Sure, the past year hasn’t been great for cinema but film has still been thriving and the absence of blockbusters has enabled some indies that would normally fly under the radar to get some more exposure and these nominations contain some fantastic films and TV shows to check out if you haven’t already.
Without further ado, here’s the full list of nominations and who I want to win vs who is likely to win. I have updated this post with the winners (in bold).
