The Golden Globes should always be taken with a pinch of salt, as they are voted for by a select group of foreign journalists in Los Angeles who basically try to second guess what the Oscar nominations will be.
The win for Robert Downey Jnr in Sherlock Holmes is reflective of the nonsensical, showbiz tastes that are rife amongst the ageing cabal of hacks that make up the HFPA.
With that in mind, the major winners could mirror the Oscars this year with Avatar, James Cameron, Jeff Bridges and Sandra Bullock all looking very strong in their respective categories.
Oscar pundits will tell you that Christoph Waltz and Mo’Nique have been virtual certainties in the supporting categories for quite a while and their wins here were no surprise.
