The Hollywood Foreign Press Association voting pool for the Golden Globes only consists of 83 members, but every year their mainstream tastes become one of the potential early prognosticators for the Emmys and the Oscars. Over in Beverly Hills today, the stylists are putting the finishing touches on the stars' couture, that long red carpet is being laid and some assistant is double checking the seals on the envelopes.

But with Harvey Weinstein, we just roll our eyes and think, "That crazy Harvey!" But according to the very loose Golden Globes rules, it's kosher. more ›
