So there you have it. For the most part between the two award ceremonies coming up this weekend, the acting wins match up. The main difference I have is "The Social Network" taking the top prize at the Critics' Choice Awards while the HFPA awards "The King's Speech." Likewise, I have the HFPA awarding Best Director to Christopher Nolan while the Critics' Choice follows their suit with David Fincher.

Tune in this weekend to find out who the winners are when the 16th Annual Critics' Choice Awards air on Friday, January 14 at 9 p.m. on VH1 and the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards air on Sunday, January 16 at 8 p.m. on NBC!
