Fun Friday: I'm an Awards Show Junkie


So, I am a total Awards show junkie. I love them. I love everything about them. The dresses. The hot men. The show. The nominations and awards themselves. The Academy Awards is my all time favorite-- every man in my house knows better than to get in the middle of me and the TV that night. But the Globes are cool too, and in honor of the recent Golden Globe nominations, I've posted some of the big categories here. Tell me who you think is going to win/who you want to win and when the globes go in a couple of weeks, the one who guesses the most right will win an ARC for my March 2010 book, Tease Me (btw, I only have a few so I'm guarding them zealously!)

So, with no further ado, the envelope please (my choices are in italics):
