Golden Globes 2013: TV's Lass's Ballot


Awards season is in full swing, and I have been looking forward to the Golden Globes.  It combines tv stars with movie stars, there's drinking, and anything can happen.  I have been busy trying to get all the movies and tv in that I can.  I have enlisted my best friend, Meg, for some healthy competition.  She is the Tina Fey to my Amy Poehler (characterization based on hair color alone.) This is where I'll probably lose again because I vote emotionally. Meg is usually spot on with her choices.  But alas, we have no choice but to follow the Tina and Amy drinking game while seeing how our ballots fare.  Wish me luck!
