Golden Globes 2021 Predictions
By: Ariba Bhuvad
The 78th Annual Golden Globes are all set to air on Sunday, February 28th on NBC at 7 PM EST with BFFs Tina Fey and Amy Poehler taking on hosting duties.
With the year we've had, it's going to be an interesting awards season, to say the least. And as most folks know, the Golden Globes are always more eccentric with their nominations as the Hollywood Foreign Press always likes to think "outside the box".
While some of the nominations this year make perfect sense to me, others are quite odd and out of left field. Nonetheless, everyone deserves their shot at being recognized, even if everyone else begs to differ. Even if that someone is me.
So, who do I think will walk away with a Golden Globe? And who do I think should but most likely won't? Check out my predictions below to find out--and be sure to share your own in the comments below!
