Golden Globes: Predictions

Well, the show will be a mere shadow of what it is supposed to be in the wake of the WGA strike (which I support). So, rather than do a full-fledged post detailing my thoughts on the categories, I have decided to just rundown a list of Will Win, Should Win, and Overlooked choices.
