Sunday, Januay 15 is the 69th Annual Golden Globes and many are going to be tuning in to see if their favorites won. Ricky Gervais is the host, so you know viewers and attendees are going to be holding their breath waiting to hear what he’ll say. There’s hopefully going to be some interesting speeches from the winners as well. Many fans of the entertainment industry are taking guesses about who’s going to win and who’s going to get snubbed. Do you picks match the ones below?
Best Picture (drama)
The nominees are “The Help,” “Hugo,” “Moneyball,” “War Horse,” “The Ides of March,” and “The Descendants.” Many are figuring that “The Descendants” is going to be the winner because of Clooney, but my prediction is that “The Help” is going to be the surprise winner and come out ahead.
Best Actress (drama)
The nominees are Viola Davis, Glenn Close, Meryl Streep, Tilda Swinton and Rooney Mara. It’s a toss up between Streep and Davis; however, there’s a really good chance that Davis is going to take the lead on this and beat out her former “Doubt” castmate.
Best Actor (drama)
Ryan Gosling, Leonardo Dicaprio, Michael Fassbender, Bradd Pitt and George Clooney are the nominees. In a category of heavyweights, it comes down to Pitt or Clooney. Their bromance will very likely not be affected by a little more friendly competition. Best bet is that the forever bachelor will win for his role in “The Descendants.”
Best Picture ( comedy or musical)
“Midnight in Paris,” “50/50,” “My Week with Marilyn,” “The Artist” and “Bridesmaids” are the nominees. The big favorite in this category is the black-and-white silent movie “The Artist,” and I’m sticking to it.
Best Actress (comedy or musical)
In a category chock full of hugely talented actresses, the nominees are Charlize Theron, Jodie Foster, Michelle Williams, Kristen Wiig and Kate Winslet. The heavy favorite in this category is Wiig, but I’m thinking Williams will take the category and beat her out.
Best Actor (comedy or musical)
Ryan Gosling, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Owen Wilson, Jean Dujarin and Brendan Gleeson are the nominees. Dujardin won at Cannes and he’s very likely going to win in this category as well.
