Sunday's Golden Globes are Hollywood's first big awards show of the #MeToo era. Cinemablend's Sean O'Connell joins Cheddar to preview the night and predict the most prestigious categories. He thinks "The Shape of Water," "Get Out," "The Crown," and "Master of None" will walk away as the big winners of the night.
Seth Meyers will host the ceremony from Los Angeles. While O'Connell says the talk-show host is a good choice, considering the prospect of former host Ricky Gervais returning this year would leave Hollywood "terrified." The managing editor expects lots of jokes about President Trump and Harvey Weinstein during the opening monologue.
We also touch on one Citi analyst's prediction that there's a 40% chance Apple buys Netflix. O'Connell thinks a potential merger would still leave Apple behind Disney in the content wars. He thinks the tech giant is more likely to create a streaming service of its own.
