It’s January, so you know what that means in Hollywood – it’s awards season! Kicking off the big ones is the Golden Globes, airing THIS Sunday, Jan. 16, and I for one cannot WAIT!

The Golden Globes merge television and movie awards and are sure to bring out some truly fabulous celebs. It’s (almost) goes without saying that this is the best awards show out there.  But we all know what’s most important (besides the fashion) and that’s not who’s presenting: it’s who will be taking home the awards. Which movie will be crowned Best Drama or Best Comedy? Which actress impressed everyone the most? Who will make the drunkest acceptance speech?

So, with no further ado, here are my predictions on who will most likely win and who SHOULD win the biggest categories of the night:

Best Motion Picture – Drama:

Nominees: Black Swan; The Fighter; Inception; The King’s Specch; The Social Network

Who WILL Win: The King’s Speech

Who SHOULD Win: The Social Network or Black Swan

Black Swan is a huge favorite with everyone right now, so I honestly don’t see why it SHOULDN’T win. But who knows? The King’s Speech is getting a lot of good reviews, and really… it just seems like one of those movies that would win a Golden Globe.

Best Actress – Drama:

Nominees: Halle Berry for Frankie & Alice; Nicole Kidman for Rabbit Hole; Jennifer Lawrence for Winter’s Bone; Natalie Portman for Black Swan; Michelle Williams for Blue Valentine

Who WILL Win: Natalie Portman or Michelle Williams

Who SHOULD Win: Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman was awesome in Black Swan – most people are saying it’s been her best role yet, and I couldn’t agree more. She absolutely deserves the award, especially for what she went through in order to play the role (intense dance training and hardly eating – ouch). But Michelle Williams did a great job in Blue Valentine, and she’s always been a favorite, so… I feel like it could go either way.

Best Actor – Drama:

Nominees: Jesse Eisenberg for The Social Network; Colin Firth for The King’s Speech; James Franco for 127 Hours; Ryan Gosling for Blue Valentine; Mark Wahlberg for The Fighter

Who WILL Win: Colin Firth

Who SHOULD Win: James Franco or Jesse Eisenberg

Let’s be clear: I really, really want James Franco to win. Not only because I think he’s gorgeous, but also because he really did do an amazing job in 127 Hours. Who else could make that so interesting? And Jesse Eisenberg played his character perfectly in The Social Network. But I’m hearing a lot of good things about Colin Firth, and like I said before, this just seems like one of those roles that would win.

Best Motion Picture – Comedy:

Nominees: Alice in Wonderland; Burlesque; The Kids Are All Right; Red; The Tourist

Who WILL Win: The Kids Are All Right

Who SHOULD Win: The Kids Are All Right

Okay, first of all, why was Burlesque even nominated? But seriously… The Kids Are All Right is a better movie than all of these noms put together.

Best Actress – Comedy:

Nominees: Annette Bening for The Kids Are All Right; Anne Hatahway for Love and Other Drugs; Angelina Jolie for The Tourist; Julianne Moore for The Kids Are All Right; Emma Stone for Easy A

Who WILL Win: Annette Bening or Emma Stone

Who SHOULD Win: Emma Stone

I want Emma Stone to win because I will just be so happy for her. It’s possible, because Easy A did really well and I’ve pretty much only heard good things about Emma’s performance. But Annette Bening also did a really good job convincing me she was a lesbian. It’s kind of hard to say.

Best Actor – Comedy:

Nominees: Johnny Depp for Alice in Wonderland; Johnny Depp for The Tourist; Paul Giamatti for Barney’s Version; Jake Gyllenhaal for Love and Other Drugs; Kevin Spacey for Casino Jack

Who WILL Win: Johnny Depp for Alice in Wonderland

Who SHOULD Win: Jake Gyllenhaal

Okay, I know Jake Gyllenhaal probably doesn’t REALLY deserve this award. But, just look at him. Anyway, a lot of critics are confused as to why Johnny Depp was nominated twice in this category – it seems a bit excessive. That hints that he might win, and also, he’s Johnny Depp.

Best Supporting Actress:

Nominees: Amy Adams for The Fighter; Helena Bonham Carter for The King’s Speech; Mila Kunis for Black Swan; Melissa Leo for The Fighter; Jacki Weaver for Animal Kingdom

Who WILL Win: Helena Bonham Carter or Melissa Leo

Who SHOULD Win: Mila Kunis

Helena Bonham Carter always does a good job, and she’s a critic favorite, so it’s really possible she could win. However, Melissa Leo is getting tons of recognition for her role in The Fighter, and I’m hearing that she’s the favorite to win this.

Best Supporting Actor:

Nominees: Christian Bale for The Fighter; Michael Douglas for Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps; Andrew Garfield for The Social Network; Jeremy Renner for The Town; Geoffrey Rush for The King’s Speech

Who WILL Win: Christian Bale

Who SHOULD Win: Andrew Garfield

It’s actually kind of a toss up between Christian Bale and Michael Douglas. Some feel Michael Douglas will take it because he was so sick this year – but that could be totally untrue. I have a feeling Christian Bale will win this one, although I do think Andrew Garfield did an excellent job and would deserve it just as much.

Best Animated Film:

Nominees: Despicable Me; How To Train Your Dragon; The Illusionist; Tangled; Toy Story 3

Who WILL Win: Toy Story 3

Who SHOULD Win: Toy Story 3

Toy Story 3 should win hands down. No arguments. Try and tell me you didn’t cry during this movie. I dare you.

Best TV Show – Drama:

Nominees: Boardwalk Empire; Dexter; The Good Wife; Mad Men; The Walking Dead

Who WILL Win: Dexter or Boardwalk Empire

Who SHOULD Win: Dexter

I have probably never heard one bad thing about Dexter, which leads me to believe it should take the award. However, Boardwalk Empire has also gotten great reviews – I just feel like it may be a little early in the game for it to win.

Best Actress – TV Drama:

Nominees: Julianna Margulies for The Good Wife; Elisabeth Moss for Mad Men; Piper Perabo for Covert Affairs; Katey Sagal for Sons of Anarchy; Kyra Sedgwick for The Closer

Who WILL Win: Julianna Margulies

Who SHOULD Win: Elisabeth Moss

I’m sorry, I don’t even want to explain this one.

Best Actor – TV Drama:

Nominees: Steve Buscemi for Boardwalk Empire; Bryan Cranston for Breaking Bad; Michael C. Hall for Dexter; Jon Hamm for Mad Men; Hugh Laurie for House

Who WILL Win: Michael C. Hall or Steve Buscemi

Who SHOULD Win: Michael C. Hall

As I said before, Dexter is amazing. And Michael C. Hall does a great job as the lead character. He would definitely deserve the award, although it might be nice to see Steve Buscemi win after he’s finally the star in something so great.

Best TV Show – Comedy:

Nominees: 30 Rock; The Big Bang Theory; The Big C; Glee; Modern Family; Nurse Jackie

Who WILL Win: Nurse Jackie, Modern Family, or Glee

Who SHOULD Win: Glee or Modern Family

Obviously, it was difficult for me to make a decision here. Nurse Jackie won big at the Emmy’s which leads me to believe it might do the same here. But Modern Family and Glee will definitely be tough competition. They’re both huge fan and critic favorites.

Best Actress – TV Comedy:

Nominees: Toni Collette for United States of Tara; Edie Falco for Nurse Jackie; Tina Fey for 30 Rock; Laura Linney for The Big C; Lea Michele for Glee

Who WILL Win: Edie Falco

Who SHOULD Win: Tina Fey

Just like I said before, Nurse Jackie could be winning big during this show – and Edie Falco has always been a favorite choice. But so has Tina Fey! I’m so….torn!

Best Actor – TV Comedy:

Nominees: Alec Baldwin for 30 Rock; Steve Carell for The Office; Thomas Jane for Hung; Matthew Morrison for Glee; Jim Parsons for The Big Bang Theory

Who WILL Win: Steve Carell

Who SHOULD Win: Steve Carell

Steve Carell has won before, and for good reason. And while he’s got some stiff competition, this being his last season on The Office has most people thinking that he could take it one last time.

Best Supporting Actress – TV:

Nominees: Hope Davis for The Special Relationship; Jane Lynch for Glee; Kelly MacDonald for Boardwalk Empire; Julia Stiles for Dexter; Sofia Vergara for Modern Family

Who WILL Win: Jane Lynch

Who SHOULD Win: Jane Lynch or Sofia Vergara

Jane Lynch is SO GOOD as Sue! But Sofia Vergara is so good as Gloria! I need a brownie.

Best Supporting Actor – TV:

Nominees: Scott Caan for Hawaii Five-O; Chris Colfer for Glee; Chris Noth for The Good Wife; Eric Stonestreet for Modern Family; David Strathairn for Temple Grandin

Who WILL Win: Eric Stonestreet

Who SHOULD Win: Eric Stonestreet

Come on, this guy is the bomb.com. Yeah, I said it.

We’ll be live-blogging the Golden Globes this Sunday at 8p.m. EST. Grab your laptop (and wine), turn on your TV (and pour some wine) and watch it all unfold with us (while drinking wine).

Is this getting you crazy excited for the awards!?! Well then join CollegeCandy on Sunday when we live blog the whole thing! Because the only thing that will make you less jealous to see all the beautiful celebrities sitting around drinking together, is knowing that you’re not alone. And even though we don’t really know who will win (I mean, we’re not expert predictors like these guys), we do know how to get yourself in the running to be adopted by Brangelina. Seriously. We have blogger connections.

The list of Golden Globe Nominees was announced today, and though there were no major surprises, I love pretty much anyone who’s got a shot at winning an award. And that, friends, is an exciting prospect for my 2011 TV schedule. So while I was making a mental food-shopping list for award night (Tostitos, Diet Coke, twizzlers…hey, January 16th isn’t that far off!), I really got to thinking, “How amazing would it be if I could actually go to the Golden Globes?” And because that just wasn’t enough, I thought, “What if I could go and pick who sat at my table!?”

Granted I would never pull out the chips and salsa in front of my A-List buddies, but I think a night of forgoing junk food would be well worth it if I got to watch the awards next to these fabulous people…

Ryan Gosling, nominated for Blue Valentine
Could I have made a more obvious selection? Well, probably…keep reading my list. But come on! Not only did be become the dreamy lead male for our generation in The Notebook, but bro has also rocked a number of darker roles, too. Blue Valentine is the perfect storm of sexy and slightly disturbing, and I definitely want to ask dear Ryan about the controversial sex scene he did with Michelle Williams. I mean, maybe he can even illustrate a few of the finer points…who knows. Actors take their craft very seriously, so I think he’d be all for a little hands-on demonstration.

Alec Baldwin, nominated for 30 Rock
Did someone order a dirty old man? Alec’s the guy who will be staring at your boobs, assaulting his children on the phone during commercial breaks, making vulgar comments about women…and we’ll love him all the more for it. Oddly enough, even in his current paunchy, graying physique, he’s still kinda hot. There, I said it.

Mila Kunis, nominated for Black Swan
Because who would want Natalie Portman aka “Miss Harvard-Degree-I’m-so-pretty-but-down-to-earth-your-boyfriend-totally-wants-to-bang-me” sitting at their table? Where Natalie is all intimidation and highbrow jokes, I get the feeling Mila’s a little more laid back. Have you ever seen That 70s Show or Forgetting Sarah Marshall? Shit’s funny. Like really funny! Plus she’s smart and completely beautiful (but not at all showy about it) and she’s been in a relationship with Macaulay Culkin since forever…the perfect wing-woman when you’re hanging out with Hollywood’s leading men!

Emma Stone, nominated for Easy A
Let’s go crazy and make the dream team of Actresses I Wish I Was Friends With. In case Superbad didn’t do it for you, who after seeing Easy A wouldn’t want to hang out with Emma Stone? I can see it now: we’re watching the awards, plotting which after parties we’re going to get drunk at, teasing Mila for dating the kid from Home Alone. By the end of the night, we’ll be trading BFF necklaces and going for regular Starbucks dates.

Jon Hamm, nominated for Mad Men
Every table needs the classically handsome, brooding, mysterious guy and Jon can be ours! Will he pull a Don Draper and drown his inner turmoil with scotch and silence? Or will he be the adorable doctor who smells like frosting from 30 Rock? I don’t know and I don’t care because Jon Hamm is a babe!

Jake Gyllenhaal, nominated for Love and Other Drugs
He needs to be at my table. Not because of his dreamy blue eyes, not because his sister is awesome, not because I hope he’ll do that cute crooked little half smile that just melts my heart. No. I need him around for one thing. So I can take off my sparkly Louboutin, hit him over the head with it, and ask (beg, really) why, WHY Taylor Swift!? Jake, I love you. But the list of reasons why you shouldn’t be dating Taylor is endless. Ugh!

Johnny Depp, nominated for The Tourist and Alice in Wonderland
Two nominations in one category? Mr. Depp will absolutely be in a good mood come Golden Globe night. And if his good moods are anything like Jack Sparrow’s, I want to be seated right next to his swashbuckling amazingness. Should he want to go for joy rides on his yacht after the awards, I’d also be down for that. Just sayin’.

Jane Lynch, nominated for Glee
For nothing else than her personal commentary of the evening. It would be like watching two awards shows at the same time – her version, and everyone else’s. Can we really afford to miss out on her biting humor, endless wit, and troves of insider celebrity gossip?

Angelina Jolie, nominated for The Tourist
We need Mom around to keep us all in line. Having a brood of Cheetos-loving little ragers at home, hopefully she’ll know how to reign us in when Alec (the bad dad) and Jane (the cool aunt) egg on the funny business and collective immaturity. And maybe, just maybe, between calming everyone down and taking calls from an adoption agency in Malawia, she’ll fall madly in love with Johnny Depp so Brad and Jen can happen again. Shoot me for rooting for true love!!!

For those not in the know, the San Diego Convention Center becomes a mecca every summer for fans of comics, science fiction, fantasy, and a lot of stuff in between. But even if you’re not a fan of any of those things (or a self-proclaimed geek like me!), Comic-Con has expanded over the years to encompass whatever’s hot in pop culture.

So if you’re going to be in SoCal from July 23-26 and can get yourself a pass, here are some reasons why you should check out Comic-Con (and if you can’t go this year, definitely mark your calendars for 2010):

1.   Check out upcoming films way before they’re released and hear from the filmmakers and cast.
The movie panels are a big hit each year, and 2009 isn’t going to be any different. Dozens of movies are going to be previewed at Comic-Con, but here’s just a sampling of what’s on the schedule next week: Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Avatar, Zombieland, 2012, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus (Heath Ledger’s last film), Astro Boy…and, of course, Twilight. Yes, the cast is going to be there. Including RPattz.

Cue fangirl screams.

2.    Sit in on discussions and upcoming season previews with the cast and crew of your favorite TV shows.
Get the scoop on TV’s most popular shows from the writers themselves (and the hott-with-a-double-“t” cast members!). Shows that will be represented include Smallville, True Blood, Heroes, Dollhouse, Family Guy, Chuck, Lost, 24, and Dexter. If I could just see Stephen Moyer, Milo Ventimiglia, Joss Whedon, and Kiefer Sutherland, I would be able to die a happy, happy woman.

3.   It’s not just about the shows, movies, and comics – there’s intellectual discussion to be found!
Comic-Con will be hosting several discussion panels with college professors, writers, and other experts on everything from parody in art to the anthropology of Star Trek. There are a number of panels relating to women in pop culture and comics specifically, so put your thinking caps on, ladies!

4.    Did you dream about being a filmmaker as a kid? Well, now you can learn how to make your own movie, from pre-production to DVD!
Comic-Con is sponsoring a four-day film school seminar taught by professional filmmakers and screenwriters. They’ll walk you through the film-making process and show you how to make your dream a reality at a low cost. It may not be as comprehensive as film school, but for you aspiring screenwriters and directors out there, it’s not a bad way to spend your time at Comic-Con.

5.    It’s like Halloween in the summertime.
Many hardcore fans dress up in costumes at Comic-Con to show their dedication to what they love. Regardless of whether or not you choose to dress up, it’s fun to see all the different costumes, especially the ornate ones. After all, it’s not every day that you see a real-life Hellboy walking around!

6.   Free stuff!
Need I say more?

7.   Three words: Hot. Geeky. Guys.
And no, I don’t just mean the gorgeous actors who will be there to talk with fans and sign autographs. You won’t find more nerds anywhere else, so if you’re like me and love a geeky guy, you’d better high-tail it to San Diego (and take me with you, please!).
