Golden Globe predictions, 2018.

Last year saw an unprecedented sweep of seven wins for the insufferable Blah Blah Bland, really testifying people's perception of the Golden Globes as being 'starf_ckers'. This year, none of the films in contention are about how great Hollywood is (although The Disaster Artist does portray the film-making process with jovial teasing), so I foresee the wealth being spread out more evenly. 



Predictions:

Movies
Best Motion Picture - Drama"The Shape of Water"
Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy"Lady Bird"
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - DramaSally Hawkins, "The Shape of Water"
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama: Gary Oldman, "Darkest Hour"


Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or ComedySaoirse Ronan, "Lady Bird"
Best DirectorChristopher Nolan, "Dunkirk"
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or ComedyJames Franco, "The Disaster Artist"
Best Supporting Actress in a Motion PictureAllison Janney, "I, Tonya"
Best Supporting Actor in a Motion PictureChristopher Plummer, "All the Money in the World"


Best Original Score in a Motion Picture"Dunkirk"
Best Screenplay in a Motion Picture"Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri"
Best Motion Picture - Foreign Language: "First They Killed My Father"
Best Animated Film: "Coco"
Best song: Mighty River, "Mudbound"

I don't usually predict the TV categories, but this year, me and my brother decided to do a competition to see who could get the most right out of the two combined sections!




TV
Best TV series - Drama"The Handmaid's Tale"
Best performance by Actress in a TV series - Drama Elisabeth Moss, "The Handmaid's Tale"
Best performance by an Actor in a TV Series - Drama: Sterling K. Brown, "This is Us"
Best TV series - Musical or Comedy"Will & Grace"
Best performance by an Actor in a TV series - Musical or Comedy Aziz Ansari "Master of None"
Best performance by an Actress in a TV series - Musical or ComedyRachel Brosnahan, "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel"
Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television"Big Little Lies"
Best Performance by an Actor in a Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for TelevisionGeoffrey Rush, "Genius"
Best Performance by an Actress in a Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for TelevisionJessica Lange, "Feud: Bette and Joan"
Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television Alexander Skarsgard, "Big Little Lies"
Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television : Laura Dern, "Big Little Lies"

Bonus prediction: Emma Stone, Casey Affleck, Meryl Streep and the whole gaggle of intolerable Hollyweird hypocrites will find any opportunity to self-congrulate for choosing to wear black outfits, like that undoes all their complicity when the moguls who were at the peak of their harassing powers by working with them and singing their praises.  And of course, in a classic case of 'methinks the lady doth protest too much', the stars will drone on to anyone who listens about how they 'had no idea' about it when it was happening when really they did but turned a blind eye because they wanted roles and awards recognition.
