Just to clarify, I will only be picking a few of the major cinematic categories. Sorry for all you Dexter and Man Men fans out there, I'm staying away from the television competitions. So here are my predictions for this year's Golden Globes:
Best Motion Picture - Drama
The Social Network
David Fincher's real life story of the origins of Facebook has been sweeping the awards circuit, and I predict its reign to continue tonight.
Best Lead Actor - Drama
It wasn't too long ago when The King's Speech was the front runner for Best Picture. The tides have turned, but the film will find due recognition in Firth's victory.
Best Lead Actor - Comedy or Musical
Paul Giamatti (Barney's Version)
He's the only performance I didn't see this year, but I wasn't a fan of the others (excluding Kevin Spacey). He wins by default.
Best Lead Actress - Drama
Natalie Portman (Black Swan)Who would've ever imagined a film about ballet creating such a stir? Due to an outstanding performance by Portman, Black Swan truly is a must see film.
Best Lead Actress - Comedy or Musical
Annette Bening (The Kids Are All Right)
As much as I loved Emma Stone, the clear front runner here is Bening. She gave a solid performance in this slightly over-hyped tale of a lesbian couple raising a pair of teenagers.
For time's sake, the rest of my predictions are:
Best Supporting Actor: Christian Bale (The Fighter)
Best Supporting Actress: Melissa Leo (The Fighter)
Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical: The Kids Are All Right
Best Director: David Fincher (The Social Network)
Best Animated Feature Film: Toy Story 3
The NFL game should be finishing up right around 8pm ET when the Golden Globes start, so tune in and check out the ceremony. It's the first big step towards the Oscars. Enjoy!
