Golden Globe Predictions

So this Sunday is the Golden Globes. For me this is the first major set of awards to be handed out. They aren't always right but they give you a pretty good idea of how the rest of the award season may go. I'm also going to touch on the categories I care about.

Anyway these are my predictions:

Best Picture - Drama

Black Swan
The Fighter
Inception
The King's Speech
The Social Network

My Pick: The Social Network

I figure this one will win but I wouldn't be surprised if The Fighter or Black Swan took it. Usually the winner of the Best Picture Oscar doesn't always win the Globe. The Social Network will in BP at the Oscars so they may not win Sunday night.

Best Picture - Musical/ Comedy

Alice In Wonderland
Burlesque
The Kids Are All Right
Red
The Tourist

My Pick: The Kids Are All Right

This category this year is a joke and the only good movie is The Kids Are All Right. If it doesn't win then there is something wrong with THFP.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama

Jesse Eisenberg - The Social Network
Colin Firth - The King's Speech
James Franco - 127 Hours
Ryan Gosling - Blue Valentine
Mark Walhberg - The Fighter

My Pick: Colin Firth

I think he is going to sweep this season. Franco has lost steam and Wahlberg is over shadowed by Bale and Leo in their supporting roles. Personally I'd like to see Gosling or Eisenberg walk away with it because of my raging hard on for The Social Network and because I think Gosling gave the best performance.

Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama

Halle Berry - Frankie and Alice
Nicole Kidman - Rabbit Hole
Jennifer Lawrence - Winter's Bone
Natalie Portman - Black Swan
Michelle Williams - Blue Valentine

My Pick: Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman is going to sweep as well. She was fantastic in the film and honestly she deserves it. I think Michelle Williams was amazing in BV but this is not her year. Michelle's was a subtle performance which will be drowned out by Natalie's tour de force.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical/Comedy

Johnny Depp - Alice in Wonderland
Johnny Depp - The Tourist
Paul Giamatti - Barney's Version
Jake Gyllenhaal - Love and Other Drugs
Kevin Spacey - Casino Jack

My Pick: Kevin Spacey

In all honesty I've only seen AIW and know very little about this category but Kevin Spacey is awesome and I hope he wins because Johnny Depp annoys the fuck outta me.

Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical/Comedy

Annette Bening - The Kids Are All Right
Anne Hathaway - Love and Other Drugs
Angelina Jolie - The Tourist
Julianne Moore - The Kids Are All Right
Emma Stone - Easy A

My Pick: Annette Bening

She was great in the film and is respected enough to win it. Personally I want Emma Stone to get it. She was fantastic in the movie and she has truly arrived in Hollywood. She deserves it.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture

Christian Bale - The Fighter
Michael Douglas - Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
Andrew Garfield - The Social Network
Jeremy Renner - The Town
Geoffrey Rush - The King's Speech

My Pick: Christian Bale

He deserves to win. His performance was amazing and he has done a lot of good work in the past that has been ignored. The only other acceptable choice is Geoffrey Rush because he was also amazing. It might go to Michael Douglas cause THFP is like that and he had cancer. I would also like to see Andrew Garfield win cause I love The Social Network and I have a massive crush on him. I also want him to get the Oscar nomination.

Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture

Amy Adams - The Fighter
Helena Bonham Carter - The King's Speech
Mila Kunis - Black Swan
Melissa Leo - The Fighter
Jacki Weaver - Animal Kingdom

My Pick: Mila Kunis

Don't ask me why but I have a feeling about her this time around. Supporting Actress always awards the new kids on the block and she might take it. If not it should be Melissa Leo who will probably win the Oscar. I'm probably going to be totally wrong but I'm gonna go out on that limb.

Best Director - Motion Picture

Darren Aronofsky - Black Swan
David Fincher - The Social Network
Tom Hooper - The King's Speech
Christopher Nolan - Inception
David O Russell - The Fighter

My Pick: David Fincher

He was the best. Aronofsky was also out standing but Fincher was the best. He has a solid body of work and this is his second nomination. Boyfriend deserves it. I think it depends on who the THFP is going to favor tomorrow night

Best Screenplay - Motion Picture

127 Hours - Danny Boyle, Simon Beaufoy
Inception - Christopher Nolan
The Kids Are All Right - Stuart Blumberg, Lisa Cholodenko
The King's Speech - David Seidler
The Social Network - Aaron Sorkin

My Pick: Aaron Sorkin

The script is amazing and he should win. David Seidler will win Best Original come Oscar time.

I would do Best Animated but we all know Toy Story 3 is going to win sooo.....

Those are my picks. I'll follow up on Monday with my reactions.
