69th Annual Golden Globe Awards: Predicting the Globes! [UPDATE: The winners!]

Hari Minggu nanti, tanggal 15 Januari, akhirnya salah satu penghargaan film bergengsi di Amerika Serikat akan mengumumkan pemenangnya (Senin pagi waktu Indonesia). Golden Globe Awards adalah sebuah penghargaan dari suatu grup yang menamakan dirinya Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA). Tahun ini, Golden Globes akan menyelenggarakan acaranya yang ke-69. Walaupun terkadang kredibilitasnya agak dipertanyakan, Golden Globes tetaplah menjadi sebuah precursor Oscar yang dinanti-nanti sebagian besar moviegoer. Mungkin karena kemasannya yang tidak begitu serius, serta dimeriahkan oleh bintang-bintang layar lebar dan layar kaca. Setelah mengikuti beberapa prescursor lainnya, gatal rasanya kalau tidak ikut mengomentari dan sekaligus memprediksi siapa saja yang akan menang Minggu malam nanti. UPDATE: Here are the winners for 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards!

I got 7 out of 13 :(( Such a bad score considering I only got 2 wrongs last year. But in my defense, I predicted most of the winners that I got wrong in the Alternative sections #menghiburdiri. LOL. The Artist may have been "the" film to beat at the Oscar, but it's not over yet. Untuk bisa memprediksi Oscar lebih detil harus melalui guild awards dulu (SAG, PGA, DGA dkk). But right at this point, IMHO, such a boring award year.
