The 2016 award season kicks off on Sunday with the arrival of the 73rd Golden Globe Awards. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association will dole out awards in 25 categories across film and television, serving as a precursor and possible foreshadowing for the prestigious grand finale - the Academy Awards. Comedian Ricky Gervais is back as Golden Globe host for the fourth time, which surely has fans excited for his snarky British humor and controversial celebrity jokes.

Festivities kick off at 6:00 pm ET as E! and hosts Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic will present the 2016 Golden Globes red carpet pre-show. Expect some entertaining celebrity interviews as well as scoops on the latest fashion trends gracing the event. The 2016 Golden Globe Awards will officially begin airing at 8:00 pm ET on NBC live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.

There will be a number of high-profile presenters including Channing Tatum, past Golden Globe winners Jamie Foxx, Amy Adams, Patricia Arquette and Eddie Redmayne, and the return of one of the most controversial figures in showbiz - Mel Gibson. The actor will be tasked with presenting an award in company of Gervais, who has ripped into the Aussie at the very same event in the past. This will be Gibson’s first major appearance since he got in trouble for those anti-Semitic comments years ago. Rumor has it that Gibson is returning to somehow reprise his role of Mad Max following the overwhelming success of the latest installment, Fury Road.

As usual, competition for the most coveted awards is tight at this year’s Golden Globes. Predicted winners are circling around the Internet, but it always proves impossible to accurately pinpoint the votes from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Best Motion Picture, Drama, is a close race with the likes of Carol, Room and The Revenant, though most are tipping the journalism thriller Spotlight as the likely victor.

Still within the drama realm, Best Actress in a Motion Picture is also looking very competitive with both Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara representing Carol, as well as Brie Larson (Room), Alicia Vikander (Ex-Machina) and Saorise Ronan (The Danish Girl). Television should also present some toss-ups this year with Game of Thrones vying for its first Golden Globe and lots of competition in the acting categories for both drama and comedy.

Without further ado, here are iDigi’s picks for the 2016 Golden Globe Awards:
