Golden Globe Film Picks 2018

The 75th Annual Golden Globe Awards airs this Sunday January 7th 

I will be hosting a viewing party with my film festival friends so I wanted to post my picks for the FILM portion only since it's more relevant to us and to this blog.

Also,  on the food side I will probably make a Party Size pizza and may spark up my Instant Pot to make some fast chicken wings.

Of course there will be popcorn and munchies.   

What is your favourite movie watching food?
