Golden Globes 2022: My predictions & the winners
The movie awards season kicks off in earnest tonight with the 2022 Golden Globes. However, they look a little different this year – as part of the HFPA’s image overhaul, there will be no red carpet, live audience or broadcast.
It remains to be seen if the Globes will continue being seen as an important part of awards season but until then, I’m going to keep making my predictions.
As usual, here’s a rundown of the categories, who I want to win and who I think will win. I’ve updated my list with the winners too!
