Of Course We’re Live-Blogging The Golden Globes While Playing Tina Fey’s Drinking Game

By  · Published on January 13th, 2013

Will Kathryn Bigelow or Ben Affleck make up for their Oscar snubs with a Best Director win? Will there be a Salmon Fishing in the Yemen sweep? Will Marion Cotillard and John Hawkes be wheeled out, in-character, to pay tribute to all the people whose handicaps allow actors to win awards?

These are questions that will be answered – even if all answers are “no” – at tonight’s Golden Globe Awards. And you should join Daniel Walber and myself in watching, even though Ricky Gervais isn’t dishing out insults again. Just grab some booze (or some very sour grapefruit juice) and not only play along with the drinking game that co-hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have devised but also read along with our witty commentary. Feel free to take an extra shot any time we are not in fact being witty. And any time our predictions are incorrect.

I will be updating the list of winners at the bottom of this post throughout the evening.

The commentary will begin at about 7:30pm ET via CoverItLive.com, and you can follow the whole thing in the box right here:
