Heading into the Golden Globes on Sunday, there are at least three sure things. Happy-Go-Lucky will win Best Motion Picture - Comedy, WALL-E will win Best Animated Feature and Heath Ledger will win posthumously for his supporting turn in The Dark Knight. Go ahead, write it down.

Other than that, there is bound to be some surprises. Sean Penn may be the favorite to win the Best Actor prize for Milk, but Mickey Rourke could easily pull an upset. There is no clear favorite in the Best Motion Picture - Drama category, and the same can be said about Best Actress - Drama. That's what will make the show worth watching.

No matter how deserving Happy-Go-Lucky, WALL-E and Heath Ledger may be, most people pay attention the Golden Globes to be surprised. Awards junkies certainly got their fix of surprises from the nominations alone. Who saw Tom Cruise coming in the Supporting Actor comedy? I'm sure very few people probably correctly picked the top five nominees for Best Motion Picture - Drama correctly since there were so many viable contenders.

Even after the Golden Globes, when we all think we have a better grasp on who will be nominated for Oscars, there will still be surprises. That's what makes the awards season fun.
