As we phase of the blockbusters and go into the award season, we predict who shall rise and fall at the first of the big three, The Golden Globes.
Best Motion Picture – Drama
Hacksaw Ridge
Manchester By The Sea
Lion
Moonlight
Hell Or High Water
For me the standout film is Manchester By The Sea but the independent film Moonlight could cause an upset.
Winner: Manchester By The Sea
Runner-Up: Moonlight
Best Picture – Musical Or Comedy
La La Land
Deadpool
Sing Street
20th Century Women
Florence Foster Jenkins
It pretty much goes without saying that this one is a shoe-in for La La Land.
Winner: La La Land
Runner-Up: N/A
Best Actor – Drama
Casey Affleck – Manchester By The Sea
Andrew Garfield – Hacksaw Ridge
Denzel Washington – Fences
Viggo Mortensen – Captain Fantastic
Joel Edgerton – Loving
For me the clear winner is the amazing Casey Affleck with his humble performance in Manchester By The Sea.
Winner: Casey Affleck – Manchester By The Sea
Runner-Up: Denzel Washington – Fences
Best Actress – Drama
Amy Adams – Arrival
Natalie Portman – Jackie
Jessica Chastain – Miss Sloane
Ruth Negga – Loving
Isabelle Huppart – Elle
Natalie Portman should be able to lock this one out but the five time Academy Award nominee Amy Adams could stop her.
Winner: Natalie Portman – Jackie
Runner-Up: Amy Adams – Arrival
Best Actor – Musical Or Comedy
Ryan Gosling – La La Land
Hugh Grant – Florence Foster Jenkins
Ryan Reynolds – Deadpool
Colin Farrell – The Lobster
Jonah Hill – War Dogs
In this category, it is a battle of the Ryan’s yet I’m pretty sure that Gosling will win over Reynolds.
Winner: Ryan Gosling – La La Land
Runner-Up: Ryan Reynolds – Deadpool
Best Actress – Musical Or Comedy
Emma Stone – La La Land
Meryl Streep – Florence Foster Jenkins
Lily Collins – Rules Don’t Apply
Annette Bening – 20th Century Women
Hailee Steinfeld – The Edge Of Seventeen
Again, La La Land is supposed to come out on top here, with Emma Stone predicted to take home her first Golden Globe. However, she’s also up against Meryl Streep (who scored a nod for her role in Florence Foster Jenkins), and everyone knows just how much award shows love Streep.
Best Supporting Actor
Dev Patel – Lion
Jeff Bridges – Hell Or High Water
Simon Helberg – Florence Foster Jenkins
Aaron-Taylor Johnson – Nocturnal Animals
Mahershala Ali – Moonlight
With Moonlight receiving six nominations, it looks like Mahershala Ali could go home with the win for this one.
Best Supporting Actress
Naomie Harris – Moonlight
Michelle Williams – Manchester By The Sea
Nicole Kidman – Lion
Octavia Spencer – Hidden Figures
Viola Davis – Fences
Here’s to Viola Davis for Fences, though a Michelle Williams win wouldn’t be a huge surprise.
Other Predicted Winners:
Best Original Score: Johan Johansson – Arrival
Best Animated Film: Moana
Best Foreign Language Film: Elle
Best Original Song: City Of Stars – Emma Stone & Ryan Gosling
