The Golden Globe Awards for this year have arrived. In just a little under three hours the show will start. I decided I would try and predict who I think I will win. (Note: This is just for fun, I really may or may not know what I am talking about.) And during the show you can catch me live-blogging here.
(My winning choices are bolded.)
Film Nominations:
Best motion picture drama
“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”
“Frost/Nixon”
“The Reader”
“Revolutionary Road”
“Slumdog Millionaire”
Everyone who is someone has something good to say about this movie. It should win hands down. (I am partial to The Reader though.)
Best motion picture musical or comedy
“Burn After Reading”
“Happy-Go-Lucky”
“In Bruges”
“Mamma Mia!”
“Vicky Cristina Barcelona”
Again, I think that Mamma Mia broke records on how good it was. Besides it was a musical. All women like musicals!
Best actor, drama
Leonardo DiCaprio, “Revolutionary Road”
Frank Langella, “Frost/Nixon”
Sean Penn, “Milk”
Brad Pitt, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”
Mickey Rourke, “The Wrestler”
Frank Langella is only playing one of the most famous presidents of the United States, Richard Nixon, that in itself is awesome. (I am partial to Leonardo DiCaprio though, but just because I still think he was hot in The Titanic.)
Best actress, drama
Anne Hathaway, “Rachel Getting Married”
Angelina Jolie, “Changeling”
Meryl Streep, “Doubt”
Kristin Scott Thomas, “I’ve Loved You So Long”
Kate Winslet, “Revolutionary Road”
It’s a toss up between Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep but I am sure Anne will win it. She has proven to everyone that she’s an amazing actress.
Best actor, musical or comedy
Javier Bardem, “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”
Colin Farrell, “In Bruges”
James Franco, “Pineapple Express”
Brendan Gleeson, “In Bruges”
Dustin Hoffman, “Last Chance Harvey”
I say Colin Farrell because who wouldn’t want to see what kind of speech he would come up with. Those people better get ready with the censorship button now!
Best actress in a musical or comedy
Kristen Bell, “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”
Sally Hawkins, “Happy-Go-Lucky”
Frances McDormand, “Burn After Reading”
Meryl Streep, “Mamma Mia!”
Emma Thompson, “Last Chance Harvey”
Meryl Streep will probably win it but since I love Kristen Bell‘s character on Heroes I’m gonna go with her. Let”s hope she gets an award because she has like ten jobs (she also does the voice of the gossip girl on Gossip Girl.)
Best supporting actor in a motion picture
Tom Cruise, “Tropic Thunder”
Robert Downey Jr., “Tropic Thunder”
Ralph Fiennes, “The Duchess”
Philip Seymour Hoffman, “Doubt”
Heath Ledger, “The Dark Knight”
Heath Ledger will of course win it. He really took over that movie…he made The Joker his own by even improvising the mannerisms the Joker would have.
Best supporting actress in a motion picture
Amy Adams, “Doubt”
Penelope Cruz, “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”
Viola Davis, “Doubt”
Marisa Tomei, “The Wrestler”
Kate Winslet, “The Reader”
Kate Winslet did an awesome job and the transformation she went through was amazing. I hope she wins this one.
Best director, motion picture
Danny Boyle, “Slumdog Millionaire”
Stephen Daldry, “The Reader”
David Fincher, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”
Ron Howard, “Frost/Nixon”
Sam Mendes, “Revolutionary Road
Again everyone has been talking about this movie. For sure the best director should be for Danny Boyle.
