Golden Globe Predictions


The Golden Globes are tonight, one of the most fun nights for movies and TV. Below are my fearless predictions.

Best Motion Picture — Drama
* A Star is Born
* If Beale Street Could Talk
* Bohemian Rhapsody
* Black Panther
* BlacKkKlansman

 Winner: I've seen all five, and they all do interesting things. To me, this comes down to "A Star is Born." I think it will be a big night for the film, and that begins with winning Best Picture.

Best Motion Picture — Comedy/Musical
* Mary Poppins Returns
* The Favourite
* Vice
* Crazy Rich Asians
* Green Book

 Winner: I have seen all five, and you could make a case for any of them. I think "The Favourite" is really unique and probably will win here, but the sentimentality of "Mary Poppins Returns" could upset the process here.

Best Motion Picture — Animated
* Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse
* The Incredibles 2
* Ralph Breaks the Internet
* Isle of Dogs
* Mirai

 Winner: It should be "Spider-Man," and you could make a case for "Isle of Dogs" and Wes Anderson, but I think it will be "The Incredibles 2."

Best Motion Picture — Foreign Language
* Shoplifters
* Roma
* Capernum
* Girl
* Never Look Away

 Winner: This is one of the easiest calls, as "Roma" should take it easy.

Best Actor — Drama
* Bradley Cooper
* John David Washington
* Rami Malek
* Lucas Hedges
* Willem Dafoe

 Winner: I think Cooper wins as "A Star is Born" dominates.

Best Actress — Drama
* Lady Gaga
* Glenn Close
* Nicole Kidman
* Rosamund Pike
* Melissa McCarthy

 Winner: I think Lady Gaga gets the win here, but Kidman could play spoiler.

Best Actor — Comedy/Musical
* Christian Bale
* John C. Reilly
* Viggo Mortensen
* Lin-Manuel Miranda
* Robert Redford

 Winner: I think the winner here will be Mortensen as they spread the love a little on this side of the draw. A dark horse could be Bale.

Best Actress — Comedy/Musical
* Emily Blunt
* Olivia Coleman
* Elsie Fisher
* Constance Wu
* Charlize Theron

 Winner: I think Emily Blunt gets the win here, and she should. A possible spoiler could be Coleman.

Best Supporting Actor
* Mahershala Ali
* Richard Grant
* Sam Rockwell
* Adam Driver
* Timothee Chalamet

 Winner: I like Ali to get the win here. Grant and Rockwell could be in the mix as well.

Best Supporting Actress
* Emma Stone
* Rachel Weisz
* Amy Adams
* Claire Foy
* Regina King

 Winner: A murderers row here, but I think this goes to Weisz.

Best Director
* Bradley Cooper
* Alfonso Cuaron
* Adam McKay
* Spike Lee
* Peter Farrelly

 Winner: I think Cooper wins here, too, as a celebration for "A Star is Born." My dark horse is Cuaron.

Best Screenplay
* Green Book
* Roma
* If Beale Street Could Talk
* Vice
* The Favourite

 Winner: This is a really wide open category, but I'm going with "The Favourite" as that dialogue is tough to beat.

Best Original Song
* Requiem for a Private War, "A Private War"
* Shallow, "A Star is Born"
* All the Stars, "Black Panther"
* Girl in the Movies, "Dumplin'"
* Revelation, "Boy Erased"

 Winner: There's no doubt here, it's Shallow.

Best Original Score
* A Quiet Place
* Black Panther
* Mary Poppins Returns
* First Man
* Isle of Dogs

 Winner: I'm going with "Mary Poppins" here.

Best TV Show — Drama
* The Bodyguard
* Homecoming
* Pose
* Killing Eve
* The Americans

 Winner: This could easily go to "Homecoming," but I think the winner is "Killing Eve."

Best TV Show — Comedy
* Atlanta
* Kidding
* The Good Place
* Barry
* The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

 Winner: This could be "Atlanta," or any of the shows, really, but I think "Barry" wins here.

 Best TV Show — Limited Series or TV Movie
* The Assassination of Gianni Versace
* Sharp Objects
* Escape at Dannemora
* A Very English Scandal
* The Alienist

 Winner: I think this is "Sharp Objects."

Best Actor — Drama
* Matthew Rhys
* Stephan James
* Jason Bateman
* Billy Porter
* Richard Madden

 Winner: I would love to see Rhys win, and I could see James here, but I'm going with Madden.

Best Actress — Drama
* Keri Russell
* Caitorina Balfe
* Sandra Oh
* Julia Roberts
* Elisabeth Moss

 Winner:  A powerhouse category. Russell or Moss could play spoiler (or even Roberts, given the HFP love of movie stars), but I'm going with Oh being the winner. It will be fun to see, too, since she's co-hosting.

Best Actor — Comedy
* Bill Hader
* Donald Glover
* Jim Carrey
* Michael Douglas
* Sacha Baron Cohen

 Winner: I think Hader get the win here. A dark horse could be Douglas.

Best Actress — Comedy
* Rachel Brosnahan
* Alison Brie
* Candace Bergen
* Debra Messing
* Kristen Bell

 Winner: Brie is a dark horse, but I think Brosnahan wins. She is so great.

Best Actor — Limited Series or Movie
* Hugh Grant
* Darren Criss
* Daniel Bruhl
* Antonio Banderas
* Benedict Cumberbatch

 Winner: I didn't love "Versace," but Criss was amazing. I think he wins.

Best Actress — Limited Series or Movie
* Amy Adams
* Connie Britton
* Regina King
* Laura Dern
* Patricia Arquette

 Winner: Arquette is the dark horse here, but I think Adams earns the win.

Best Supporting Actor, TV
* Alan Arkin
* Ben Whishaw
* Henry Winkler
* Edgar Ramirez
* Kieran Culkin

 Winner: I'm going with Winkler here for "Barry."

Best Supporting Actress, TV
* Alex Borstein
* Patricia Clarkson
* Penelope Cruz
* Thandie Newton
* Yvonne Strahovski

 Winner: Newton is a dark horse for me, as is Clarkson, but I think Borstein gets some recognition for her work on "Mrs. Maisel."

The awards kick off tonight at 8 p.m. est.

  It was a solid week for new releases, including my favorite animated film of the year. You can keep up with everything I’m watching by following me on Letterboxd @knighthawk7734.  Brats (Hulu) Synopsis : From Andrew McCarthy, this new documentary takes a look at the infamous Brat Pack. The film features interviews with the members as they look back at the title that branded them and helped define some of their career. As a member of the group, McCarthy brings a unique perspective. Often the interviews, with actors such as Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Timothy Hutton, and Demi Moore, among others, feels more like old friends catching up. There’s a sweetness and a lightness to the documentary that is incredibly appealing. The film does a good job of capturing the highs and lows, and helping these actors and actresses give an account of what the pressure of that time—and these high-profile films—meant in their lives and their careers. As a child of the 1980s, I was fascinating by t...

Fall TV Roundup, Week 16

Image
  It’s Christmas week, and you might find yourself looking for some distractions in the form of new shows to check out. But which are worth checking out? Let this weekly post be your guide as I review the pilot and second episode of new shows this Fall. Don’t see a new show listed below? Check previous weeks. Tuesdays: American Auto, Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on NBC (Premiered December 13) About: A lot was made of the fact NBC, former home of Must-See TV, launched a schedule this Fall with no sitcoms. NBC isn’t planning to do the same in the winter, and they got a jump start to close the year, offering two-episode previews of a pair of new sitcoms that will begin their normal runs in January. The first, American Auto , comes from Superstore creator Justin Spitzer and centers on a new CEO (Ana Gasteyer) at a car company. She doesn’t come from the world of cars but is trying to effect positive changes. I thought the first two episodes were funny and definitely filled the Superstore vib...

2025 Broncos' Season, Week 13

Image
Week 13: Denver Broncos 27, Washington Commanders 26 Season Record: 10-2 (6-0 Home) Key Play: In overtime, with the Broncos leading by a point, Marcus Mariota dropped back for the two-point conversion, which was blocked by Nik Bonitto, ending the game. Recap: That was a tough one. The Broncos and Commanders were both coming off a bye week, and both wanted a win. The Commanders have worked to improve their defense. The Broncos have worked to be more efficient on offense. Both things were born out Sunday. In addition, Mariota and the Commanders made plays against the Broncos. The good news is the Broncos won. The other good news is that the Broncos cut down on penalties. All that is positive as they move into a Week 13 tilt with the Raiders. The Broncos need to keep playing tough and need to keep winning. The team is 10-2, tied for the best record in the AFC. They have two games on the Chargers and four on the Chiefs. They play both teams again. There is little margin for error if th...
