Casting a ballot – PGA Awards 2015

It’s that wonderful time of the year; time for film awards pretty much every weekend, and sometimes during the week as well. So, like I’ve been doing for a few years already, I’ll pretend. I’ll cast a fictional ballot for many awards (the Oscars, when it’s time, and a few selected guilds). It’s not who I think will receive the award, merely who I think should. (I haven’t seen a few of the nominees, so this is, indeed, far from ideal.)
