  • Golden Globes 2024: ‘Oppenheimer’ Wins 5, ‘Succession’ 4

    Golden Globes 2024: ‘Oppenheimer’ Wins 5, ‘Succession’ 4

    The Golden Globes saw big success for Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. The Universal film won Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director, Best Original Score, and Best Drama. Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., Nolan, and composer Ludwig Goransson will all most likely repeat their Globe success with Academy success.

    Barbie showed itself to be a lot weaker at the Globes than many thought it would be. While the film was the nominations leader, it lost Best Comedy/Musical to Poor Things and Best Screenplay to Anatomy of a Fall. Interestingly enough, Anatomy of a Fall was the only nominee in that category that wasn’t also nominated in Best Director.

    On the TV side, Succession, The Bear, and Beef swept the categories specific to their genre. As a result, there wasn’t much variety here.

  • Golden Globe Nominations: ‘Barbie’, ‘Oppenheimer’, and ‘Poor Things’ Lead the Pack

    Golden Globe Nominations: ‘Barbie’, ‘Oppenheimer’, and ‘Poor Things’ Lead the Pack

    On the film side, this year’s Golden Globe nominations didn’t see any major snubs outside of The Color Purple missing in the Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy category. With the film missing here, at AFI, and with NBR last week, I think its Best Picture nomination chances are quickly dwindling and I am increasingly confident that my top 10 of Oppenheimer, Killers of the Flower Moon, Poor Things, Barbie, The Holdovers, Past Lives, American Fiction, Maestro, Anatomy of a Fall, and The Zone of Interest will be this year’s Best Picture nominees. If The Color Purple gets a Critics Choice nomination on Wednesday its back in the race but otherwise it seems that May December is the only film outside the top 10 that has a chance at a Best Picture nomination (and while I thought that film was fantastic, it’s not getting a Best Picture nomination). Critics Choice will be a major precursor as always so stay tuned for their picks on Wednesday.

    One thing I always mention when the Golden Globe noms are released is the stat that in the last 15 years (in all years except 2021 when ‘CODA’ won Best Picture), the eventual Best Picture winner was nominated for a Best Film, Director, and Screenplay award at the Globes before going on to win Oscar’s biggest prize. This year, FIVE films, Oppenheimer, Poor Things, Killers of the Flower Moon, Barbie, and Past Lives, achieved that trifecta. I think only those former three films have a chance at a Best Picture win and while my instincts are leaning towards Poor Things, both Oppenheimer and ‘Killers’ are incredibly strong possibilities.

    On the TV side, there were many more snubs and surprises. Succession leading the nominations pack was expected but misses for Abbott Elementary stars Sheryl Lee Ralph and Tyler James Williams weren’t. While ‘Abbott’ won Best Film – Musical or Comedy at last year’s Globes, expect this year to be the year of The Bear, which was nominated in five categories.

  • Golden Globes 2023: ‘Banshees’ Shocks ‘EEAAO’, ‘Abbott’ Has a Great Night

    Golden Globes 2023: ‘Banshees’ Shocks ‘EEAAO’, ‘Abbott’ Has a Great Night

    The biggest news when it comes to the Oscar race is the Banshees of Inisherin prevailing over Everything Everywhere All at Once in the Best Comedy/Musical category. While I think Everything Everywhere All at Once will still win Picture, I now doubt it will take the Picture, Director, Screenplay trifecta. The Fabelmans took Drama and Director cementing it as a top three Picture contender.

    On the TV side, it was a big day for Abbott Elementary (Tyler James Williams surprised for a win in Supporting Actor!) and The White Lotus

  • Who Will Win at This Year’s Golden Globes (TV)

    Who Will Win at This Year’s Golden Globes (TV)

    The Golden Globes will air on NBC at 8 PM EST/5 PM PST

    TV 

    BEST TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA 

    Severance 

    Better Call Saul 

    The Crown 

    The House of the Dragon 

    Ozark 

    Historically, the HFPA likes to award shows that are in their first seasons though that hasn’t really been the case in recent years (e.g. Succession and The Crown). Severance, Better Call Saul, and The Crown are the biggest contenders this year and Severance has the benefit of being both extremely popular and in its first season. As a result, I have it winning but I think Better Call Saul has so much goodwill going for it right now and it could ride that to a win here. 

    WINNER: Severance 

    UPSET PICK: Better Call Saul, The Crown, or The House of the Dragon 

      

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA 

    Zendaya – Euphoria 

    Imelda Staunton – The Crown 

    Emma D’Arcy – The House of the Dragon 

    Laura Linney – Ozark 

    Hilary Swank – Alaska Daily 

    In this category, the Globes have shown a tendency to award relative newcomers who are on their first nomination for a role. 2-time Emmy winner Zendaya has never been nominated by the HFPA for her performance as Rue in Euphoria until this year and as she fits the category of an ingenue on her first nod for a role, she’s my pick, though watch out for Emma D’Arcy in The House of the Dragon and Imelda Stuanton in The Crown to upset. 

    WINNER: Zendaya – Euphoria 

    UPSET PICK: Imelda Staunton – The Crown or Emma D’Arcy – The House of the Dragon 

      

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA 

    Bob Odenkirk – Better Call Saul 

    Adam Scott – Severance 

    Kevin Costner – Yellowstone 

    Jeff Bridges – The Old Man 

    Diego Luna – Andor 

    Bob Odenkirk will finally get his due for his brilliant portrayal of Saul Goodman. 

    WINNER: Bob Odenkirk – Better Call Saul

    UPSET PICK: Adam Scott – Severance or Kevin Costner – Yellowstone 

      

    BEST TELEVISION SERIES – MUSICAL OR COMEDY 

    Abbott Elementary 

    The Bear 

    Wednesday 

    Only Murders in the Building 

    Hacks 

    The Globes like to award shows that are in their first season. That is good news for Abbott Elementary, The Bear, and Wednesday. Abbott Elementary seems like a no-brainer here especially since it received two supporting actress nods even though the drama and comedy categories have been combined. However, watch out for The Bear. 

    WINNER: Abbott Elementary 

    UPSET PICK: The Bear 

      

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SERIES – MUSICAL OR COMEDY 

    Quinta Brunson – Abbott Elementary 

    Jean Smart – Hacks 

    Jenna Ortega – Wednesday 

    Kaley Cuoco – The Flight Attendant 

    Selena Gomez – Only Murders in the Building 

    This one is really between Jean Smart and Quinta Brunson. They represent the two performances that the Globes love to award the showy Hollywood veteran turn and the young first-time nominee performance. However, the Globes don’t really like a performance two times in a row in this category (only Rachel Brosnahan has accomplished that since 2010) and since Smart won last year, this seems like Brunson’s year to prevail. 

    WINNER: Quinta Brunson – Abbott Elementary 

    UPSET PICK: Jean Smart – Hacks 

      

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SERIES – MUSICAL OR COMEDY 

    Jeremy Allan White – The Bear 

    Steve Martin – Only Murders in the Building 

    Martin Short – Only Murders in the Building 

    Bill Hader – Barry 

    Donald Glover – Atlanta 

    Jeremy Allan White should take this and while Steve Martin and Martin Short are competitive here, they will very likely split votes and give White an easy path to victory. 

    WINNER: Jeremy Allan White – The Bear 

    UPSET PICK: Steve Martin – Only Murders in the Building or Martin Short – Only Murders in the Building 

      

    BEST TELEVISION LIMITED SERIES, ANTHOLOGY SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION 

    The White Lotus 

    Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story 

    The Dropout 

    Black Bird 

    Pam and Tommy 

    The White Lotus has unquestionably the most popularity and positive critical attention of these shows and should take this easily. 

    WINNER: The White Lotus 

    UPSET PICK: N/A 

      

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A LIMITED SERIES, ANTHOLOGY SERIES OR A MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION 

    Amanda Seyfried – The Dropout 

    Jessica Chastain – George and Tammy 

    Lily James – Pam and Tommy 

    Julia Garner – Ozark 

    Julia Roberts – Gaslit 

    Both the lead categories for Limited Series are pretty straight-forward this year. While Jessica Chastain has a chance to take this as she’s Globes regular (on her her eighth nod in 13 years), Seyfried is all but certain to win for her acclaimed portrayal of Elizabeth Holmes. 

    WINNER: Amanda Seyfried – The Dropout 

    UPSET PICK: Jessica Chastain – George and Tammy 

      

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A LIMITED SERIES, ANTHOLOGY SERIES OR A MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION 

    Evan Peters – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story 

    Taron Egerton – Black Bird 

    Andrew Garfield – Under the Banner of Heaven 

    Sebastian Stan – Pam and Tommy 

    Colin Firth – The Staircase 

    Biopic, and especially serial killer, performances are Globes fodder and Evan Peters has received great notices for his role. It’s a prestige show with a standout central performance, Peters is winning. 

    WINNER: Evan Peters – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story 

    UPSET PICK: Taron Egerton – Black Bird 

      

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SUPPORTING ROLE IN A DRAMA/COMEDY 

    Elizabeth Debicki – The Crown

    Sheryl Lee Ralph – Abbott Elementary

    Hannah Einbinder – Hacks

    Julia Garner – Ozark

    Janelle James – Abbott Elementary

    This is the first year where the drama and comedy supporting performances have been lumped into one category and the limited/TV movie supporting performances have been lumped into another. They used to all be combined and in the last five years of it being combined, no primarily comedic performance won. The two biggest contenders in this category are Elizabeth Debicki and Sheryl Lee Ralph and while Ralph is favored, I think the HFPA’s preference for dramatic performances will prevail and Debicki will take this. 

    WINNER: Elizabeth Debicki – The Crown 

    UPSET PICK: Sheryl Lee Ralph – Abbott Elementary 

      

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SUPPORTING ROLE IN A DRAMA/COMEDY 

    John Turturro – Severance 

    Henry Winkler – Barry 

    John Lithgow – The Old Man 

    Tyler James Williams – Abbott Elementary 

    Jonathan Pryce – The Crown 

    While Henry Winkler has a realistic chance of taking this, especially as his performance is more dramatic than many other of his fellow actors in the Comedy categories, John Turturro is a veteran of Hollywood who, unlike Winkler, has never won a Globe. I think the members of the HFPA will try to rectify that. 

    WINNER: John Turturro – Severance 

    UPSET PICK: Henry Winkler – Barry 

     

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A LIMITED SERIES/TV MOVIE  

    Jennifer Coolidge – The White Lotus 

    Niecy Nash-Betts – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story 

    Aubrey Plaza – The White Lotus 

    Daisy Edgar-Jones – Under the Banner of Heaven 

    Claire Danes – Fleishman is in Trouble 

    Jennifer Coolidge has this. I don’t see how she loses. 

    WINNER: Jennifer Coolidge – The White Lotus 

    UPSET PICK: N/A 

     

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A LIMITED SERIES/TV MOVIE 

    Paul Walter Hauser – Black Bird 

    1. Murray Abraham – The White Lotus

    Richard Jenkins – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story 

    Domhall Gleeson – The Patient 

    Seth Rogen – Pam and Tommy 

    Hauser and Abraham are this category’s main contenders. Abraham is very good in The White Lotus and he is a veteran performer who already has a Globe win for Amadeus but what Hauser does in Black Bird lingers with you after the credits roll which I think will allow his work to prevail.  

    WINNER: Paul Walter Hauser – Black Bird 

    UPSET PICK: F. Murray Abraham – The White Lotus 

     

     

  • Who Will Win at This Year’s Golden Globes (Film)

    Who Will Win at This Year’s Golden Globes (Film)

    The Golden Globes will be aired on NBC at 8 PM EST/5 PM EST

    FILM 

    BEST MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA 

    The Fabelmans 

    Top Gun: Maverick 

    Elvis 

    Tar 

    Avatar: The Way of the Water 

    In the 21st century so far, every Best Drama winner has also been nominated in Best Director that same year, except for Bohemian Rhapsody in 2019. The Fabelmans, Elvis, and Avatar: The Way of the Water all have corresponding Director nominations. To me, this award is between The Fabelmans and Top Gun: Maverick and while I think the Globes that awarded Bohemian Rhapsody in 2019 would also give it to Top Gun: Maverick, the Globes of today is the one that awarded The Power of the Dog last year and Nomadland in this category the year before. As a result, I think The Fabelmans will take this and cement its place as a top three Best Picture contender. Though it is also not impossible that something very populist like Elvis or Avatar breaks in for the win. This is definitely a category where an upset is likely and that could possibly shake the race up greatly. 

    WINNER: The Fabelmans 

    UPSET PICK(S): Top Gun: Maverick, Elvis, or Tar 

      

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA 

    Cate Blanchett – Tar 

    Michelle Williams – The Fabelmans 

    Viola Davis – The Woman King 

    Ana de Armas – Blonde 

    Olivia Colman – Empire of Light 

    Cate Blanchett has this. To me, it is a foregone conclusion that she will win her fourth Golden Globe on her twelfth nomination. 

    WINNER: Cate Blanchett – Tar 

    UPSET PICK: N/A 

      

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA 

    Austin Butler – Elvis 

    Brendan Fraser – The Whale 

    Bill Nighy – Living 

    Hugh Jackman – The Son 

    Jeremy Pope – The Inspection 

    This category is really between Butler and Fraser. Even though I believe Fraser will win the Oscar in this category, the Globes love biopic performances (3 of the last 5 winners in the Best Actor – Drama and Best Actress – Drama categories were depictions of real-life people) and there is evidence they liked Elvis based on Baz Luhrmann’s Best Director nod. I’ll go with Butler’s Elvis but if Fraser takes this, he moves so much closer to taking the Oscar. 

    WINNER: Austin Butler – Elvis 

    UPSET PICK: Brendan Fraser – The Whale 

      

    BEST MOTION PICTURE – MUSICAL OR COMEDY 

    Everything Everywhere All at Once 

    The Banshees of Inisherin 

    Babylon 

    Glass Onion 

    Triangle of Sadness 

    While there is a very small chance this goes to ‘Banshees’, Everything Everywhere All at Once has this in the bag. 

    WINNER: Everything Everywhere All at Once 

    UPSET PICK: The Banshees of Inisherin 

      

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE – MUSICAL OR COMEDY 

    Michelle Yeoh – Everything Everywhere All at Once 

    Margot Robbie – Babylon 

    Emma Thompson – Good Luck, Leo Grande 

    Anya Taylor-Joy – The Menu 

    Leslie Manville – Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris 

    Michelle Yeoh. That’s it. No one else. 

    WINNER: Michelle Yeoh – Everything Everywhere All at Once 

    UPSET PICK: N/A 

      

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE – MUSICAL OR COMEDY 

    Colin Farrell – The Banshees of Inisherin 

    Daniel Craig – Glass Onion 

    Diego Calva – Babylon 

    Ralph Fiennes – The Menu 

    Adam Driver – White Noise 

    Colin Farrell is the critics’ awards leader and is the only actor of these five that will likely be nominated at the Oscars. Like Yeoh, he has this win all but confirmed. 

    WINNER: Colin Farrell – The Banshees of Inisherin 

    UPSET PICK: N/A 

      

    BEST MOTION PICTURE – ANIMATED 

    Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio 

    Marcel the Shell with the Shoes On 

    Turning Red 

    Puss in Boots: The Last Wish 

    Inu-Oh 

    Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio should take this as ‘Marcel’ probably as too twee for the Globes and ‘Turning Red’ did not get the attention so far that other original Pixar films that have won in this category have. Pinocchio is both well-liked, widely-seen, and produced by one of the most well-respected filmmakers in the industry today so it has a lot going for it. 

    WINNER: Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio 

    UPSET PICK: Marcel the Shell with Shoes On or Turning Red 

      

    BEST MOTION PICTURE – FOREIGN LANGUAGE 

    All Quiet on the Western Front 

    RRR 

    Decision to Leave 

    Close 

    Argentina, 1985 

    This is between All Quiet on the Western Front and RRR and I think whoever wins here immediately becomes a top 12 Best Picture contender and very much could become a BP nominee. RRR was a critics’ choice nominee but ‘All Quiet’ was a monster with the shortlists. RRR won Best Director at NYFCC but Berger’s film received both Picture and Director selections on the BAFTA longlists. I think it’s more up the HFPA’s alley anyways so I will be going with the German film. 

    WINNER: All Quiet on the Western Front 

    UPSET PICK: RRR  

     

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN ANY MOTION PICTURE 

    Jamie Lee Curtis – Everything Everywhere All at Once 

    Kerry Condon – The Banshees of Inisherin 

    Angela Bassett – Black Panther: Wakanda Forever 

    Dolly De Leon – Triangle of Sadness 

    Carey Mulligan – She Said 

    While Kerry Condon is the critics’ leader in this category by a wide margin and will most probably win the Oscar, I think Curtis, as a Globes regular and veteran Hollywood star, is a lot more of a Globes pick than Condon is. Though if Condon can win here, she is all but confirmed for Oscar come March. 

    WINNER: Jamie Lee Curtis – Everything Everywhere All at Once 

    UPSET PICK: Kerry Condon – The Banshees of Inisherin or Angela Bassett – Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. 

      

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN ANY MOTION PICTURE 

    Ke Huy Quan – Everything Everywhere All at Once 

    Brendan Gleeson – The Banshees of Inisherin 

    Barry Keoghan – The Banshees of Inisherin 

    Brad Pitt – Babylon 

    Eddie Redmayne – The Good Nurse 

    Ke Huy Quan won the top critics’ awards trifecta with his win at NSFC a few days back completing his triple crown. This award may seem like his to lose but it also is a possibility that Everything Eveywhere All at Once does not take both supporting prizes and splits one apiece with ‘Banshees’, either with a win for Condon or one for Gleeson. 

    WINNER: Ke Huy Quan – Everything Everywhere All at Once 

    UPSET PICK: Brendan Gleeson – The Banshees of Inisherin  

      

    BEST DIRECTOR – MOTION PICTURE 

    Daniels – Everything Everywhere All at Once 

    Steven Spielberg – The Fabelmans 

    James Cameron – Avatar 2 

    Martin McDonagh – The Banshees of Inisherin 

    Baz Luhrmann – Elvis 

    Steven Spielberg is a 14-nominee at the Globes in this category (in comparison to his five Director nominations at the Oscars) and is clearly loved by the HFPA (He also received the Cecil B. DeMille award from them in 2008). This is a year where his film is a top three Best Picture contender so he is predicted to take this award. However, I believe The Fabelmans isn’t as strong as most think it is and while most have Spielberg winning, I think the Daniels will take this on the path to their win in March. 

    WINNER: The Daniels – Everything Everywhere All at Once 

    UPSET PICK: Steven Spielberg – The Fabelmans 

      

    BEST SCREENPLAY – MOTION PICTURE 

    Martin McDonagh – The Banshees of Inisherin 

    The Daniels – Everything Evereywhere All at Once 

    Todd Field – Tar 

    Steven Spielberg, Tony Kushner – The Fabelmans 

    Sarah Polley – Women Talking 

    What I’ve predicted so far is pretty much an Everything Everywhere All at Once sweep of every category it’s nominated in. But this is where that ends. While the Daniels could very well win here instead of Director (I don’t really see them winning both at the Globes), but I think this is where McDonagh will get his flowers. 

    WINNER: Martin McDonagh – The Banshees of Inisherin  

    UPSET PICK: The Daniels – Everything Everywhere All at Once 

      

    BEST ORIGINAL SCORE – MOTION PICTURE 

    Justin Hurwitz – Babylon 

    John Williams – The Fabelmans 

    Hildur Guonadottir – Women Talking 

    Alexandre Desplat – Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio 

    Carter Burwell – The Banshees of Inisherin 

    This category is one of the most up in the air, Hurwitz, Guonadottir, Williams, and Desplat all have realistic chances of taking this and all are also interestingly previous winners in this category. The question is who will end up prevailing? I think Williams winning as a legacy pick is a very likely outcome and Hurwitz winning his third in this category in seven years sounds quite unlikely on paper. However, Hurwitz’s score is definitely the most lauded of the slate and is the flashiest by far so, though I have reservations, he is my pick. 

    WINNER: Justin Hurwitz – Babylon 

    UPSET PICK: Hildur Guonadottir – Women Talking, John Williams – The Fabelmans, or Alexandre Desplat – Pinocchio 

      

    BEST ORIGINAL SONG – MOTION PICTURE 

    Top Gun: Maverick 

    Black Panther: Wakanda Forever 

    RRR 

    Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio 

    Where the Crawdads Sing 

    This is probably the closest race in the film categories and to me this is between Top Gun: Maverick’s “Hold My Hand” or Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’s “Lift Me Up”. In my ears, the song from ‘Maverick’ better fits what the Globes like in this category but honestly anything can happen. 

    WINNER: Top Gun: Maverick 

    UPSET PICK: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever or RRR 

  • Golden Globes Nominations 2023: ‘Banshees’ Leads With 8, ‘Everything Everywhere’ and ‘Fabelmans’ Cement Themselves as the Frontrunners

    Golden Globes Nominations 2023: ‘Banshees’ Leads With 8, ‘Everything Everywhere’ and ‘Fabelmans’ Cement Themselves as the Frontrunners

    The Golden Globes released their slate of nominees this morning, shedding further light on what to expect this awards season. One thing I always mention when the Golden Globe noms are released is the stat that in the last 10 years (in all years except the most recent), the eventual Best Picture winner was nominated for a Best Film, Director, and Screenplay award at the Globes before going on to win Oscar’s biggest prize.

    This year, Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Fabelmans, and Banshees of Inisherin received that nomination trifecta, cementing those films as the three biggest players of the season. The former pair will likely be the two biggest frontrunners and I predict EEAAO will end up winning it all in the end.

    Another stat I want to mention is that in the last ten years, at least four of the five nominees in Best Film – Drama went on to earn Best Picture nominations later on in their respective years. That means that at most one of Avatar 2, Elvis, The Fabelmans, Tar, and Top Gun: Maverick won’t make the slate. I think that film is most likely to be Avatar 2 (my current BP slate being EEAAO, The Fabelmans, ‘Banshees’, Tar, Women Talking, Babylon, Top Gun: Maverick, Elvis, She Said). However, there is also a pretty good chance that all the films nominated here will make it in, hopefully the CCA nominations coming out on Wednesday will provide another piece of the puzzle.

  • Golden Globes 2022: ‘West Side Story’ Wins 3, ‘The Power of the Dog’ Wins Best Drama

    Golden Globes 2022: ‘West Side Story’ Wins 3, ‘The Power of the Dog’ Wins Best Drama

    Though the Golden Globes likely won’t have the weight they usually do as they weren’t televised and are being willfully ignored by the majority of the industry, they are still a major Oscar precursor. The Power of the Dog and West Side Story won 3 Globes a piece and though I’ve always had The Power of the Dog as my predicted Best Picture winner, the Globes are truly the first major precursor to release its picks so far and their selection of The Power of the Dog over Belfast (when I thought the award was surely going the latter) was a surprise that gave me more confidence about having the film as my #1 pick.

    Anyway, here are the winners:

    Film

    Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy
    “Cyrano”
    “Don’t Look Up”

    Golden Globes Reveal Their Nominations: ‘The Power of the Dog’ and ‘Belfast’ Lead With 7 Each

    Though they won’t be televised this season, the Golden Globes released their nominations this morning and there are some interesting inclusions and exclusions. A stat that I want to mention is that no Best Picture winner in at least the last 10 years has won the award without being at least nominated for a Picture award, Best Director, and Best Screenplay at the Golden Globes. This year, two films fit that criteria: The Power of the Dog and Belfast. Both CODA and The Lost Daughter seem to benefit from today’s nominations as they both received two nods a piece.

  • Final Golden Globe Predictions: Who Will Win and What Surprises Will Be in Store?

    Final Golden Globe Predictions: Who Will Win and What Surprises Will Be in Store?

    The Golden Globes are notorious for throwing curveballs and while my predictions don’t necessarily have many surprises I do show you possibilities for what could be in store.

    So, without further ado, here are the predictions:

    FILM

    BEST MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA

    THE FATHER (Trademark Films; Sony Pictures Classics)

    MANK (Netflix; Netflix)

    NOMADLAND (Highwayman / Hear/Say / Cor Cordium; Searchlight Pictures)

    PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN (LuckyChap Entertainment / FilmNation Entertainment; Focus Features)

    THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7 (Marc Platt Productions / Dreamworks Pictures; Netflix)

    For the past three years there has been a surprise winner in this category at the Globes that ends up becoming a major frontrunner after its win here. Since Promising Young Woman is not widely-considered to be a top 3 frontrunner yet I think a win here will cement in that position. Anyway, there are only 3 films that can win this, the previously-mentioned Promising Young Woman, The Trial of the Chicago 7, and Nomadland. They all have pros and cons with The Trial of the Chicago 7 being the film that would traditionally win in this category and Nomadland being the film that voters feel safe picking in this age of Twitter. However, Promising Young Woman is a movie that has the entertainment that the Globes love and is beloved by Film Twitter so I think it will be the pick for the very homogenous HFPA voting body. Still, the Globes have shown a lot of love to Sorkin (he has received 9 nominations from them) in the past so maybe that will translate into a win for ‘Chicago 7’? Also, will the Globes show their fixation on Old Hollywood and pick Mank?

    WINNER: Promising Young Woman

    UPSET PICK(S): The Trial of the Chicago 7, Nomadland

     

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA

    VIOLA DAVIS
    MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM

    ANDRA DAY
    THE UNITED STATES VS. BILLIE HOLIDAY

    VANESSA KIRBY
    PIECES OF A WOMAN

    FRANCES MCDORMAND
    NOMADLAND

    CAREY MULLIGAN
    PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN

    To me, this is between Carey Mulligan and Viola Davis. The backlash to the Golden Globes’ lack of black nominees was swift and powerful so you bet they will try to do whatever they can to dispel that notion. With that said, I have Promising Young Woman winning and that definitely does not happen without Mulligan winning here. Even though I think this is a two-horse race, watch out for Frances McDormand who is one her seventh Globe nomination.

    WINNER: Carey Mulligan – Promising Young Woman

    UPSET PICK: Viola Davis – Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom or Frances McDormand – Nomadland

     

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA

    RIZ AHMED
    SOUND OF METAL

    CHADWICK BOSEMAN
    MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM

    ANTHONY HOPKINS
    THE FATHER

    GARY OLDMAN
    MANK

    TAHAR RAHIM
    THE MAURITANIAN

    I know that some think that Hopkins could end up winning this as he is the kind of industry veteran that the HFPA loves to award but I really don’t seen anyone other than Boseman taking this award. Ahmed could surprise any other year but Boseman seems untouchable this year.

    WINNER: Chadwick Boseman – Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom

    UPSET PICK: Anthony Hopkins – The Father

     

    BEST MOTION PICTURE – MUSICAL OR COMEDY

    BORAT SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM
    (Four By Two Films; Amazon Studios)

    HAMILTON
    (Walt Disney Pictures / RadicalMedia / 5000 Broadway Productions / NEVIS Productions / Old 320 Sycamore Pictures; Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)

    MUSIC
    (Pineapple Lasagne Productions / Landay Entertainment; Vertical Entertainment / IMAX)

    PALM SPRINGS
    (Party Over Here / Limelight Productions; NEON / Hulu)

    THE PROM
    (Netflix / Dramatic Forces / Storykey Entertainment; Netflix)

    Hamilton is exactly the kind of thing that the HFPA would love, it is almost as if it is tailored for their tastes. However, there are a few problems that it has. One, will the Globes want to award it when it was released in July? By that I mean will enough voters remember it? Also, will there be some voters that disagree with its nomination in general as it is essentially a recording of a Broadway musical? Even with these questions, I think Hamilton will pull through, but do not underestimate Borat as its politics could bring it to the top of the pack. Some people also have The Prom winning this but the fact that two actresses that the Globes love, Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman, did not get a nomination in Best Actress – Comedy or Musical shows to me that really doesn’t have that much support.

    WINNER: Hamilton

    UPSET PICK: Borat Subsequent Moviefilm

     

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE – MUSICAL OR COMEDY

    MARIA BAKALOVA
    BORAT SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM

    KATE HUDSON
    MUSIC

    MICHELLE PFEIFFER
    FRENCH EXIT

    ROSAMUND PIKE
    I CARE A LOT

    ANYA TAYLOR-JOY
    EMMA

    The Globes love a comeback story so watch out for Pfeiffer to steal this. Still, Bakalova is the only nominee whose film is also nominated for Best Film (other than Hudson but she has essentially no chance due to the almost universal backlash against her film) so I feel like she should win this. If Bakalova doesn’t win this, her chances for a Best Supporting Actress nom at the Oscars greatly diminish so watch how this one plays out.

    WINNER: Maria Bakalova – Borat Subsequent Moviefilm

    UPSET PICK: Michelle Pfeiffer – French Exit or Rosamund Pike – I Care a Lot

     

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE – MUSICAL OR COMEDY

    SACHA BARON COHEN
    BORAT SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM

    JAMES CORDEN
    THE PROM

    LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA
    HAMILTON

    DEV PATEL
    THE PERSONAL HISTORY OF DAVID COPPERFIELD

    ANDY SAMBERG
    PALM SPRINGS

    My gut is telling me to put Lin-Manuel Miranda here is feel the HFPA will go crazy about Hamilton, but my brain is telling me that Cohen is going to win this as he has had an amazing year and this is the spot where he has the highest chance of being awarded. Also watch out for someone like Dev Patel or Andy Samberg since Dev Patel is the kind of actor that the HFPA loves and Andy Samberg has hosted before. This race seems poised for a surprise.

    WINNER: Sacha Baron Cohen – Borat Subsequent Moviefilm

    UPSET PICK: Lin-Manuel Miranda – Hamilton

     

    BEST MOTION PICTURE – ANIMATED

    THE CROODS: A NEW AGE
    (DreamWorks Animation; Universal Pictures)

    ONWARD
    (Walt Disney Pictures / Pixar Animation Studios; Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)

    OVER THE MOON
    (Netflix / Pearl Studio / Glen Keane Productions; Netflix)

    SOUL
    (Walt Disney Pictures / Pixar Animation Studios; Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)

    WOLFWALKERS
    (Cartoon Saloon / Melusine; Apple / GKIDS)

    People are saying that Wolfwalkers could take this but I still don’t think it will. If this was a weak year for Pixar I would definitely have Wolfwalkers winning this but it is not as Soul is as critically-acclaimed as some of Pixar’s most classic original films.

    WINNER: Soul

    UPSET PICK: Wolfwalkers

     

    BEST MOTION PICTURE – FOREIGN LANGUAGE

    ANOTHER ROUND (DENMARK)
    (Zentropa Entertainments; Samuel Goldwyn Films)

    LA LLORONA (GUATEMALA / FRANCE)
    (La Casa de Producción / Les Films du Volcan; Shudder)

    THE LIFE AHEAD (ITALY)
    (Palomar; Netflix)

    MINARI (USA)
    (Plan B; A24)

    TWO OF US (FRANCE / USA)
    (Paprika Films; Magnolia Pictures)

    I will be thoroughly shocked if Minari does not win this. I have it as a top-5 Best Picture contender at the Oscars and if it does not win here I will definitely have to reconsider that placement. Another Round seems like its only competition.

    WINNER: Minari

    UPSET PICK: Another Round

     

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN ANY MOTION PICTURE

    GLENN CLOSE
    HILLBILLY ELEGY

    OLIVIA COLMAN
    THE FATHER

    JODIE FOSTER
    THE MAURITANIAN

    AMANDA SEYFRIED
    MANK

    HELENA ZENGEL
    NEWS OF THE WORLD

    Another three-horse race, this time between Amanda Seyfried, Olivia Colman, and Glenn Close. Colman is definitely beloved by the HFPA (she’s won 3 Globes in the last five years!) yet I feel like her performance in The Father is too understated for the tastes of the HFPA. I also think that the Globes want to award Mank somewhere and this is probably that film’s best opportunity to win. And then there’s Glenn Close. She’s on her 15th Globe nomination and her role in Hillbilly Elegy is the kind of “transformative” performance that the Globes love. However, her film Hillbilly Elegy is controversial and the HFPA might feel that they are on thin ice after all the backlash they have faced for various things.

    WINNER: Amanda Seyfried – Mank

    UPSET PICK: Glenn Close – Hillbilly Elegy or Olivia Colman – The Father

     

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN ANY MOTION PICTURE

    SACHA BARON COHEN
    THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7

    DANIEL KALUUYA
    JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH

    JARED LETO
    THE LITTLE THINGS

    BILL MURRAY
    ON THE ROCKS

    LESLIE ODOM JR
    ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI

    In the past three Golden Globes, the winner in this category has been in a film that would eventually win a Best Film award. Sacha Baron Cohen is the only one in the pack from a Best Film nominee and it’s a major contender. However, Kaluuya and Odom Jr. are playing famous historical figures, a type of performance the HFPA loves to award. They are also young actors that have been major names in the industry for less than five years, which is a category of actor the HFPA loves to acknowledge as well. I am going with Kaluuya since, during the period February 10th to the 23rd (the period that the Globes are voted upon), Kaluuya has gained the most plaudits, media attention, and critics’ awards. Still, this one is very uncertain.

    WINNER: Daniel Kaluuya – Judas and the Black Messiah

    UPSET PICK: Leslie Odom Jr. – One Night in Miami or Sacha Baron Cohen – The Trial of the Chicago 7

     

    BEST DIRECTOR – MOTION PICTURE

    EMERALD FENNELL
    PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN

    DAVID FINCHER
    MANK

    REGINA KING
    ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI

    AARON SORKIN
    THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7

    CHLOÉ ZHAO
    NOMADLAND

    Chloe Zhao is going to continue sweeping basically everything in this category so this is kind of a no-brainer for me.

    WINNER: Chloe Zhao – Nomadland

    UPSET PICK: N/A

     

    BEST SCREENPLAY – MOTION PICTURE

    EMERALD FENNELL
    PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN

    JACK FINCHER
    MANK

    AARON SORKIN
    THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7

    FLORIAN ZELLER, CHRISTOPHER HAMPTON
    THE FATHER

    CHLOÉ ZHAO
    NOMADLAND

    This would be Sorkin’s eighth nomination in this category (and he has won twice already) so I don’t know how smart it would be to bet against him here. However, I also think that if Promising Young Woman wins here, it will definitely win Best Drama and since I do have Promising Young Woman I should probably have it winning here as well, right? Well, I am going to play it safe and choose ‘Trial’ but I will not be the least bit surprised if Promising Young Woman takes this.

    WINNER: The Trial of the Chicago 7

    UPSET PICK: Promising Young Woman

     

    BEST ORIGINAL SCORE – MOTION PICTURE

    ALEXANDRE DESPLAT
    THE MIDNIGHT SKY

    LUDWIG GÖRANSSON
    TENET

    JAMES NEWTON HOWARD
    NEWS OF THE WORLD

    TRENT REZNOR, ATTICUS ROSS
    MANK

    TRENT REZNOR, ATTICUS ROSS, JON BATISTE
    SOUL

    Since Jon Batiste is also a part of the group that is being nominated, I think Soul should win here. I don’t think Reznor and Ross’ music by itself would handily earn the win but with Batiste’s jazz additions, Soul should easily win this and start on its sweep of this category throughout awards season.

    WINNER: Soul

    UPSET PICK: Mank

     

    BEST ORIGINAL SONG – MOTION PICTURE

    “FIGHT FOR YOU” — JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH
    Music by: H.E.R., Dernst Emile II
    Lyrics by: H.E.R., Tiara Thomas

    “HEAR MY VOICE” — THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7
    Music by: Daniel Pemberton
    Lyrics by: Daniel Pemberton, Celeste Waite

    “IO SÌ (SEEN)” — THE LIFE AHEAD
    Music by: Diane Warren
    Lyrics by: Diane Warren, Laura Pausini, Niccolò Agliardi

    “SPEAK NOW” — ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI
    Music by: Leslie Odom Jr, Sam Ashworth
    Lyrics by: Leslie Odom Jr, Sam Ashworth

    “TIGRESS & TWEED” — THE UNITED STATES VS. BILLIE HOLIDAY
    Music by: Andra Day, Raphael Saadiq
    Lyrics by: Andra Day, Raphael Saadiq

    The Globes love to award anthemic and uplifting music in this category and Speak Now, which although starts somewhat low-key, does become that type of song. However, this is a more competitive category than most people think and I definitely could see either H.E.R. or Andra Day taking this for their respective films.

    WINNER: One Night in Miami

    UPSET PICK: The United States vs. Billie Holiday or Judas and the Black Messiah

    TV

    BEST TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA

    THE CROWN – NETFLIX
    (Left Bank Pictures / Sony Pictures Television)

    LOVECRAFT COUNTRY – HBO
    (HBO / Afemme / Monkeypaw / Bad Robot / Warner Bros. Television)

    THE MANDALORIAN – DISNEY+
    (Lucasfilm Ltd.)

    OZARK – NETFLIX
    (MRC Television)

    RATCHED – NETFLIX
    (Fox21 Television Studios)

    The HFPA loves to make shocking picks in this category and they have shown a lot of love to Ryan Murphy in the past so even though Ratched was widely panned it could win. However, The Crown has five acting nominations so it definitely has wide support and should probably win. Still, it is important to mention that the HFPA does not usually like to reward shows after their debut season, which is concerning for The Crown (third season) and good for Ratched and Lovecraft Country.

    WINNER: The Crown

    UPSET PICK: Ratched

     

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA

    OLIVIA COLMAN
    THE CROWN

    JODIE COMER
    KILLING EVE

    EMMA CORRIN
    THE CROWN

    LAURA LINNEY
    OZARK

    SARAH PAULSON
    RATCHED

    While Emma Corrin and Olivia Colman could split votes, Emma Corrin winning here is a very Globes-y thing to do. She is a relative newcomer and is playing a famous public figure in a prestige drama, a usually foolproof formula to winning a Globe.

    WINNER: Emma Corrin – The Crown

    UPSET PICK: Olivia Colman – The Crown or Sarah Paulson – Ratched

     

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA

    JASON BATEMAN
    OZARK

    JOSH O’CONNOR
    THE CROWN

    BOB ODENKIRK
    BETTER CALL SAUL

    AL PACINO
    HUNTERS

    MATTHEW RHYS
    PERRY MASON

    This category seems very unpredictable. I could think of arguments for Bateman, O’Connor, Rhys, and Pacino winning this so this is one of the widest fields this year. So let me find arguments against them winning. Jason Bateman has already lost twice for his role in Ozark and the Globes have not shown that they respect the rule third time’s a charm. The Crown will most likely win in both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress so will the HFPA, who oftentimes like to spread the wealth, want to award O’Connor as well? Matthew Rhys delivers a great performance but the HFPA hasn’t shown that they liked Perry Mason as it did not receive any other nominations even though it was expected to. Al Pacino is a big name and his performance is the kind of showy veteran role that the Globes love, but Hunters may not have enough people that liked it for Pacino to win. I am going to choose O’Connor because he has the least, in my opinion, going against him.

    WINNER: Josh O’Connor – The Crown

    UPSET PICK: Jason Bateman – Ozark or Al Pacino – Hunters

     

    BEST TELEVISION SERIES – MUSICAL OR COMEDY

    EMILY IN PARIS – NETFLIX
    (Darren Star Productions / Jax Media / MTV Studios)

    THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT – HBO MAX
    (HBO Max / Berlanti Productions / Yes, Norman Productions / Warner Bros. Television)

    THE GREAT – HULU
    (Hulu / Civic Center Media / MRC)

    SCHITT’S CREEK – POP TV
    (Not A Real Company Productions / Canadian Broadcast Company / Pop TV)

    TED LASSO – APPLE TV+
    (Apple / Doozer Productions / Warner Bros. Television / Universal Television)

    The Globes like to award shows that are in their first season. That is good news for Ted Lasso, The Flight Attendant, The Great, and Emily in Paris yet since this is the first time Schitt’s Creek has been nominated in this category at the Globes, the HFPA will likely treat it like a first-time nominee. Schitt’s Creek also has the most acting nominations in the Musical or Comedy sphere so it seems safe for the win, but watch out for the crowd-pleaser Ted Lasso to steal this.

    WINNER: Schitt’s Creek

    UPSET PICK: Ted Lasso

     

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SERIES – MUSICAL OR COMEDY

    LILY COLLINS
    EMILY IN PARIS

    KALEY CUOCO
    THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT

    ELLE FANNING
    THE GREAT

    JANE LEVY
    ZOEY’S EXTRAORDINARY PLAYLIST

    CATHERINE O’HARA
    SCHITT’S CREEK

    This one is really between Catherine O’Hara and Kaley Cuoco. They represent the two performances that the Globes love to award the showy Hollywood veteran turn and the young first-time nominee performance. Still, it is also true that this is O’Hara’s first Globe nomination so I think the Globes will want to quickly rectify that and award the comedy legend.

    WINNER: Catherine O’Hara – Schitt’s Creek

    UPSET PICK: Kaley Cuoco – The Flight Attendant

     

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SERIES – MUSICAL OR COMEDY

    DON CHEADLE
    BLACK MONDAY

    NICHOLAS HOULT
    THE GREAT

    EUGENE LEVY
    SCHITT’S CREEK

    JASON SUDEIKIS
    TED LASSO

    RAMY YOUSSEF
    RAMY

    Jason Sudeikis is the favorite here but the HFPA has shown that they like to award young up-and-coming comedians in this category so watch for Nicholas Hoult to make an upset. Emmy winner Eugene Levy has never won a Globe (he has never been nominated prior to this year either) and the Globes may choose to reward him this year.

    WINNER: Jason Sudeikis – Ted Lasso

    UPSET PICK: Eugene Levy – Schitt’s Creek or Nicholas Hoult – The Great

     

    BEST TELEVISION LIMITED SERIES, ANTHOLOGY SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION

    NORMAL PEOPLE – HULU
    (Hulu / BBC / Element Pictures)

    THE QUEEN’S GAMBIT – NETFLIX
    (Netflix)

    SMALL AXE – AMAZON STUDIOS
    (BBC Studios Americas, Inc. / Amazon Studios)

    THE UNDOING – HBO
    (HBO / Made Up Stories / Blossom Films/David E. Kelley Productions)

    UNORTHODOX – NETFLIX
    (Studio Airlift / RealFilm)

    While the Queen’s Gambit seems like the obvious pick here I cannot forget that Small Axe is absolutely beloved by critics and while the Globes have never really aligned greatly with the general critical consensus, I definitely can see Small Axe winning this.

    WINNER: The Queen’s Gambit

    UPSET PICK: Small Axe

     

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A LIMITED SERIES, ANTHOLOGY SERIES OR A MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION

    CATE BLANCHETT
    MRS. AMERICA

    DAISY EDGAR-JONES
    NORMAL PEOPLE

    SHIRA HAAS
    UNORTHODOX

    NICOLE KIDMAN
    THE UNDOING

    ANYA TAYLOR-JOY
    THE QUEEN’S GAMBIT

    This is probably the most “sure thing” of any of the categories here as the acclaim for Taylor-Joy is more than any other of the nominees. She is the frontrunner by far and it would be very surprising if she doesn’t end up winning.

    WINNER: Anya Taylor-Joy

    UPSET PICK: Shira Haas – Unorthodox

     

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A LIMITED SERIES, ANTHOLOGY SERIES OR A MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION

    BRYAN CRANSTON
    YOUR HONOR

    JEFF DANIELS
    THE COMEY RULE

    HUGH GRANT
    THE UNDOING

    ETHAN HAWKE
    THE GOOD LORD BIRD

    MARK RUFFALO
    I KNOW THIS MUCH IS TRUE

    This is probably a three-way race between Mark Ruffalo, Ethan Hawke, and Hugh Grant. Ruffalo is playing two roles, which is something the HFPA absolutely loves. Hugh Grant is having a career comeback with his role in The Undoing and that is the kind of storyline that the Globes love as well. And Hawke is playing a famous historical figure in John Brown. Also, watch out for Jeff Daniels as, like I said before, the Globes like when actors play political figures and Daniels is playing James Comey.

    WINNER: Mark Ruffalo – I Know This Much is True

    UPSET PICK: Hugh Grant – The Undoing or Ethan Hawke – The Good Lord Bird

     

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SUPPORTING ROLE

    GILLIAN ANDERSON
    THE CROWN

    HELENA BONHAM CARTER
    THE CROWN

    JULIA GARNER
    OZARK

    ANNIE MURPHY
    SCHITT’S CREEK

    CYNTHIA NIXON
    RATCHED

    This is probably one of the easier categories to predict as Gillian Anderson’s performance as Margaret Thatcher is something that the HFPA will love.

    WINNER: Gillian Anderson – The Crown

    UPSET PICK: Annie Murphy – Schitt’s Creek or Cynthia Nixon – Ratched

     

    BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SUPPORTING ROLE

    JOHN BOYEGA
    SMALL AXE

    BRENDAN GLEESON
    THE COMEY RULE

    DANIEL LEVY
    SCHITT’S CREEK

    JIM PARSONS
    HOLLYWOOD

    DONALD SUTHERLAND
    THE UNDOING

    While John Boyega should win this, Dan Levy and Brendan Gleeson are not far behind. The Globes like to award performances like Gleeson’s, I still remember when, last year, Russell Crowe had a surprise win for playing Roger Ailes. Gleeson, an Irish actor interestingly, is playing Donald Trump so I would watch out for him to upset.

    WINNER: John Boyega – Small Axe

    UPSET PICK: Brendan Gleeson – The Comey Rule or Dan Levy – Schitt’s Creek
