The Golden Globes are today, and that means that awards season is officially upon us! While the rest of America is suffering from arctic temperature drops, Los Angeles is being heated by thousands of kilowatts of solar energy being exuded by the gargantuan fake smiles plastered across the faces of anyone currently campaigning for a gilded statue.

While your recluse friends who have seen Nebraska three times already thank you very much made their winning prognostications well before nominees were even announced, it’s okay if this season’s golden age of television was so overwhelming you fell behind (we won’t tell anyone the real reason: you watched Thor on Netflix upwards of 23 times in one month). Whether you’re a person who loves TV and just hasn’t seen any, or one of the insufferable sorts who is too high-brow to pretend a marathon of Bar Rescue won’t suck you in, we have your ballots covered (along with a full list of nominees below). You may not be the most correct person at your Golden Globes party, but you will be by far the most interesting.

The Guy Who Pretends To Only Watch Arthouse Cinema, But Still Hasn’t Seen Blue Is The Warmest Color

You know this guy. He is the worst. He probably just got promoted out of the assistant ranks at an indie feature film company, and is convinced that because he read a PDF copy of Dave Egger’s latest a full week before it was released on Amazon, he is intellectually avant garde. (Spoiler alert: he’s not.)

The Girl Who Never Saw A Documentary Before Blackfish, And Is Now Obsessed With Social Justice

While you admire her ex post facto pluck, her zeal to save the world is seriously interfering with your ability to order in a side of sea urchin with your spicy tuna delivery.

The Girl  Who Actually Did Watch Thor 23 Times In One Month

She’s unashamed of the fact that her taste in movies and television lines up perfectly with the viewing sensibilities of teenagers who also swear by Ryan Seacrest’s Top 40 countdown. If it works for most of Middle America, it must be good, right?
