What a night. I’m not going to bother doing the same Golden Globes jokes you’ve heard for a few weeks now, because the year’s dumbest awards ceremony is over, and it was fine! The presentation was not always great, but things moved quickly enough (for something that apparently must be three hours), and Barb and Star were there. We can always count on Barb and Star in times of trouble.
Without further ado, I will announce the winners of the 2021 Golden Globes Pool!
In first place, with 17 out of 25 correct predictions, is Binary Wolf!

In third place, with 14 correct predictions, is Roswulf!
