68th Golden Globe Award Picks

Ah, the Golden Globes are here again. Just under the Academy Oscars are the Golden Globes, rewarding the best acts, programs, actors, actresses, and films of modern day television and film. Over twenty golden, foot-tall trophies of a golden sphere held up by a man of gold shall be received tonight by the peak of talent... right? Well, not for sure. The Golden Globes cannot please everyone, since not everyone wants the same nominees to claim the gold. So here, I'll show who I want to win the gold, the Globes, and the glory!

Unfortunately, I'll have to be rather brief, as the Golden Globes are literally about to come on live--aye! I will list the category, under which will be the five nominees. The bolded choice is my pick that SHOULD WIN.
