There was a lot of awesome going around in the movie category as expected but there was also some awesome in the tv category specifically in the: house of cards nominations and the Downtwon Abbey and American Horror Story departments. Without further ado here are the nominees and subsequent winners.
Btw:
I predicted but I was a little late in posting so figured that posting a prediction list was probs not the best idea. In any case i'll highlight what I wanted to win and what I never saw coming. If I got it right you'll know because there is no rant next to the name.

Keira Knightley
(The Imitation Game)
Patricia Arquette
(Boyhood)
Meryl Streep
(Into The Woods)
Emma Stone
(Birdman)
Honestly I think she should be rewarded she keeps getting nominated and always oh so close, however Patricia Arquette is not going to be back on this stage for awhile so I guess. Plus it was a decade and half long process of shooting.

Ethan Hawke
(Boyhood)

Edward Norton

J.K. Simmons

Ok haven't seen "Whiplash" but that shit came from like out of fucking nowhere, no one could have predicted that JK Simmons, osea Juno's dad would win. Good for him but fucking weird.

Ava DuVernay
(Selma)
Wes Anderson
(The Grand Budapest Hotel)
Alejandro González Iñárritu

Note I didn't guess correctly I accidentally skipped it and then when I saw it on the tube didn't bother to guess, however I will say this the winner is a total nube so I would have gone with Zimmer or Desplat as I love either of their works.
Best Original Song - Motion Picture
Big Eyes
Selma
Noah
Annie
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1
Honestly I love Lorde's "Yellow Flicker Beat" and I thought for sure it was going to win, however then I saw that Lana had done "Big Eyes" and I thought hmm Lorde has competition but woo forgot about John fucking Legend and the mastermind that is Common. Well played guys!
Best TV Series, Drama
Downton Abbey
The Affair
Game Of Thrones
House of Cards
Good Wife, The
This was another fucking surprise for me. I was on my couch and had a fucking heart attack. What the fuck is The Affair and how did it kick ass thrice, House of Cards on its second season and second time nominated, last year it only lost to the giant that is Breaking Bad, Downton Abbey now nominated at least three times and going into its fifth or sixth season, and Game of Thrones, in hindsight they're always nominated but never win. I was in shock, This show reminds me of Fargo i don't get the whole hype in the judges but I can now predict that they'll win everything.

Viola Davis
(How to Get Away With Murder)
Claire Danes
(Homeland)
Julianna Margulies

Who the fuck is she, why did they give the award to the bitch with thee ugliest dress and why was she so awlward! Im over this show! I thought Robin Wright had it in the bag! Claire Underwood was so fucking spectaculart this season! Ughh my consolation is she won the year before and Viola Davis was the only one I thought who would give her a run for her money. Annoyed!

Best TV Series, Musical or Comedy
Orange is the New Black
Girls

I finally thought they had a chance but I forgot about Transparent which I can honestly say I'm ok that Orange lost to. I haven't seen it but the premise is pretty amazing also props to Amazon.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus
(Veep)
Edie Falco
(Nurse Jackie)
Gina Rodriguez
(Jane The Virgin)
Lena Dunham
(Girls)
Taylor Schilling

Don Cheadle
(House of Lies)
William H. Macy
(Shameless)
Ricky Gervais

Martin Freeman
(Fargo)
Matthew McConaughey

Kathy Bates
(American Horror Story: Freak Show)
Uzo Aduba
(Orange is the New Black)
Joanne Froggatt
(Downton Abbey)
Michelle Monaghan
(True Detective)
Allison Janney
(Mom)
I always see Joanne or any of the ladies from Downton Abbey up here and I ignore them because even though I think they're fantastic the HFPA is not of the same mindset, I thought Kathy would take it since she took the Emmy or Aduba since it was her second nomination. I was ok being wrong.
Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Mini-Series or TV Movie
Bill Murray
(Olive Kitteridge)
Jon Voight
(Ray Donovan)
Matt Bomer

Alan Cumming
(The Good Wife)
Colin Hanks
(Fargo)
I wanted him to win so bad! I didn't think he would but he finally did! Let me also say that I am so happy this mini series/tv movie finally won something! I thought it was sadly overlooked!
Ok thats it for the Golden Globes for this year there was a lot missing from the show!
Amy Poheler and Tina Fey did not have enough stage time and what they did they kind of failed thanks to the untimley Cosby jokes and Margaret Cho kind of upstaged them. The joke went to far and was way to long. Its sad that they went out like they did. It wasn't as bad as Anne hathaway and James Franco but hey we were all expecting a lot from them. Also there was no in memoriam on the year that we were going to (or supposed to see ) a tribute to two of Hollywood's greatest Robin Williams and Phillip Seymour Hoffman!
Til next year!
