68th Golden Globes Predictions

I don't really care about the Golden Globes and will more likely then not end up watching them tonight. But that won't stop me from making my predictions. Call it a warm-up: I'm stretching my legs and testing the waters, seeing how well I do. Last year I think I got 5/25 right. So, I'm aiming to maybe doing better this year (though TV hangs me up because I rarely see any of the nominations in a category). So, what will be win this year? I'll list all the nominees, and put in bold my predictions
