PREDICTING THE GLOBES: And the Golden Globe goes to...

Let me get one thing straight from the onset. While the Oscars are reliable in terms of their winners, the Golden Globes are known to be the Oscar's drunken, unpredictable cousin. Thanks to Tina fey and Amy Poehler the Golden globes have reached anticipation near equal to the Oscars.

Despite all this Globes are the best Oscar predictors. For example last year’s major Globe winners — “12 Years a Slave,” Matthew McConaughey, Cate Blanchett and Alfonso CuaronIf all went on to win their respective Oscars after winning the globes. If Jeniffer Aniston wins Best actress for cake, she will be sure of a nomination at the Oscars.
