Now that Kevin Spacey ("House of Cards") is finally a favorite in the eyes of Golden Globes voters -- he prevailed last year on his eighth career bid -- can he score back-to-back trophies? Or might an underdog like Sam Heughan ("Outlander") pull off a Golden Globes jawdropper? Hurry -- make your own predictions for a chance to win a $100 Amazon gift certificate.

According to exclusive Gold Derby odds that are derived from the predictions made by our Editors (website staff editors), Top 24 Users (the two dozen folks who did the best predicting last year's nominations) and other Users just like you, Spacey currently leads this TV race with 9/2 odds, followed by Heughan in second place with odds of 6/1.
Spacey prevailed for the second season of Netflix's "House of Cards" last year, following seven unsuccessful attempts for his roles in "The Usual Suspects" (1995), "American Beauty" (1999), "The Shipping News" (2001), "Beyond the Sea" (2004), "Recount" (2008), "Casino Jack" (2010) and Season 1 of "House of Cards" (2013). "This is just the beginning of my revenge," joked Spacey during his long-awaited acceptance speech.
As for Heughan, this international TV sensation ticks a lot of boxes for Golden Globe voters. Remember, these awards are given out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. That's key because the people voting for the Globes love to trumpet new hot stars like Scottish-born Heughan for their media outlets across the world, and "Outlander" is one of Starz's all-time biggest success stories.
Other top dramatic actors in contention are Rami Malek (15/2 odds) for the critically acclaimed USA drama "Mr. Robot," Jon Hamm (8/1 odds) for the final episodes of AMC's "Mad Men," Terrence Howard (17/2 odds) for Fox's red-hot "Empire" and Clive Owen (16/1 odds) for Season 2 of Cinemax's "The Knick."
