#2) Who will win?
In a year full of big-budget movies and quiet, quirky dramas and with such a weird, split-voting situation within the supporting categories (not to mention the complete absence of Meryl), it's anybody's guess who will take home the coveted award from the HFPA.

TAO Predictions Color Guide:
To Win
Could Win / Dark Horse
The Women in the Drama category are all extremely strong contenders and really deserving of the recognition - this one is going to be tough.
The Supporting Actor in a Comedy/Drama category is almost too comical to even bother predicting so I'm leaving that one blank.
A few FACTS that you should know for Sunday night:
- The Cecile B. DeMille Award is being given to Robert De Niro who has been nominated for 8 Golden Globes and won 1 for Raging Bull in 1981.
- Miss Golden Globe 2010 is Gia Mantegna who is a 20 year old actress and the daughter of Joe Mantegna who played Joey Zasa in The Godfather: Part III
- Calvin Klein will air its first-ever fashion commercial on Sunday during the Golden Globes on NBC
#3) The Fashion
As this is really the kick-off to award season, expect the Golden Globes to set the tone for the rest of the year. We're expecting to see (the oft popular) beading and shoulder-revealing dresses for the ladies. Be on the look-out for jewel tones and monochromatic neutrals. For the gents, expect the standard sophisticated looks we've seen in the past with a bit more of a fitted, designer edge this year.
The Hollywood Reporter has a great article about "The Psychology of the Dress" - check it out here.
