The Awardist podcast: Who should win vs. who will win at the Golden Globes

This year’s race to the Oscars will begin in earnest at this weekend’s Golden Globe Awards, which will kick off a month jam-packed with awards shows.

As of Sunday, the winners of this year’s awards will no longer be a mystery. To prepare, on this week’s edition of The Awardist podcast, EW’s Shana Naomi Krochmal and David Canfield are joined by assistant features editor Mary Sollosi as they make their final predictions as to who will win, and they battle it out over who should win.

Comedian Ricky Gervais is returning to host the ceremony for the fifth time, after previously doing the honors in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2016. Shana, David, and Mary talk about what they hope to see from the controversial comedian.
