Commentary: I think that The Social Network will take Director and Screenplay, but that the Globes will go for the more traditional drama The King's Speech for Picture (and probably Actor too). I went with Bale cause he has the biggest buzz, and Carter cause she's a bigger celebrity than say critic's fave Jacki Weaver. Bening and TKAAR are shoo-ins for the Comedy/Musical, and double nominee Depp will most likely win for his Mad Hatter. The others are just guesses at this point.
