Here we are again with the main start to the big awards season and what I consider to be my warm-up at predicting awards winners, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Golden Globe Awards, on Sunday January 8th. Join in with your friends and family using our 2017 Golden Globes Ballot you can print out and fill in!
I’ve not yet seen very many of these nominees at all, so my predictions below are based more on what I’ve heard than the very little I’ve seen. I don’t expect to get very many right at all, so please comment below when you beat me by a country mile!
I’ve used my normal scoring system, 1. to indicate my first choice of what I think will win, 2. to show what I think could beat my first choice, and usually I put a P. for my personal choice of what I think should win. As I’ve not seen enough of these it would be unfair and silly of me to put what I think should win, so I’ve left the P’s out for now. This can later be scored as 2pts for a correct first choice win and 1pt for a correct 2nd choice, no points are given for personal preferences winning as that’s more out of interest and self-expression but really you can use whatever scoring system you like!
