On Golden Globes

My prediction: Helen Mirren Night!

Mirren has three Best Actress nominations: one in Film, The Queen, and two in Television Mini-Series, HBO's Elizabeth I (even more brilliant than The Queen) and Prime Suspect: The Final Act, Jane in 3D portrayed down to her bones, fabulous! A tie in television category with Mirren winning for both series would be enjoyable, but to choose one I'll go with Elizabeth I.
