After the awkward press conference that became of last year’s Golden Globes, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association rolled out the expected nominees this morning for a show that is now guaranteed to draw all the names who shunned it last year.

There's a surprisingly gargantuan Internet faction dedicated to predicting who will be up for film's most coveted prize, the Academy Award.

That's not to mention stand-alone sites like Awards Daily and In Contention, or well-known bloggers like Jeff Wells, Dave Poland and Anne Thompson. Even Roger Ebert has devoted a wealth of recent ink on the subject. But, the truth is, no matter how much someone knows, it's still just a wild guessing game.
