Earlier this evening, The 69th Annual Golden Globe awards were handed out at a ceremony hosted by Ricky Gervais. Gervais, much tamer than last year, still managed to deliver quite a few laughs during a ceremony where not many surprises were to be had.
With the Golden Globes coming up tomorrow night, it seems a good time to go ahead and lay down some predictions for who will be taking home the awards.

2011 is the weakest year of film in recent memory. That’s not to say there weren’t some pretty good films out there, but it is the first year in which I can recall not having seen a movie that has earned a four-star rating.

For example, last year I saw three four-star films: Inception, The King’s Speech, and Rabbit Hole, each of them a superb achievement in cinema.
As per usual, the year brought us many stinkers that we as film critics were forced to sit through, so once again, it’s time to air out the dirty laundry to bring you some of the very worst films that the year had to offer.
