This year's lead up to the 75th Golden Globe Awards doesn't feel like years past where a majority of the races seemed predetermined. At tomorrow's awards show every film category appears up for grabs - well, everyone except for
Coco in the Best Animated race - and this complete unknown adds elements of mystery and intrigue to a usually predictable event, something that is very much needed at this point in time. Guest contributor Greg Rouleau and I are more divided on our picks than usual, and tomorrow's Globes should provide plenty of surprises. Here are the picks:
