Piercing Ken Thoughts: I have to say that there is a LOT that I don’t watch on this list but of the submitted nominations, I think I’d like to see “Joker” win for “Best Drama” and Phoenix for the Best Actor in this. Of course I do expect that “The Irishman” will win instead. I guess that “Best Musical” should go to “Rocketman” since so many have praised it. As I close this one up I wonder who you want to win in a few of the categories. Chime in down below with your suggestions and I will touch upon this topic once again when the winners have been announced during the broadcast that will air on January 5th, 2020. See you then.
