golden globes 2011/my pre-oscar nominations...

Golden Globes 2011

I cannot fairly judge the globes this year as I have only seen a teaspoon sized portion of the nominees due to my ever present lack of funds. But in some categories I completely agree...

Natalie Portman, Colin Firth, Toy Story 3, The Kids Are Alright, Jim Parsons, Annette Bening, and Claire Danes are all wonderful and deserving wins. The rest... meh! (I will be able to judge fairly in due time after seeing more.)

These are my predictions (and of course my hopes) for the 83rd Annual Academy Awards nominees (oh and these are the only ones I have seen as well). Since the real nominations will be announced tomorrow I figured I had better get a few of my votes in...
