King vs. Facebook

First question: do the Globes still predict the Oscars? Everyone is looking for a Best Picture frontrunner and tonight’s winner might give a clue. No one cares about the comedy awards, so let’s go straight to the drama. “King’s Speech” or “Social Network”? Colin Firth or Jesse Eisenberg? Will the shady Hollywood Foreign Press embrace a feel-good movie about the British monarchy or a hip flick about a social revolution. Natalie Portman (“Black Swan”) should be poised to win an Oscar after the night is over. Your host is Ricky Gervais.
