Golden Globes Predictions – Movies

Let me preface this by saying I’m behind on movie watching, so I haven’t seen many of the nominated films.  But what I lack in cinematic experience, I make up for in television (televimatic?) familiarity.

BEST PICTURE, DRAMA
Prediction:  Up In The Air
If I Had A Vote:  Inglourious Basterds – the Bear Jew, scalping Nazis, and Brad Pitt’s hilarious eye-talian accent, what’s not to love?

BEST ACTRESS, DRAMA
Prediction:  Sandra Bullock, The Blind Side
If I Had A Vote: Katie Featherston, Paranormal Activity – sure she’s not nominated, but a) I didn’t see enough movies last year, and b) she was convincing in her role as “girl who no one should ever date”

BEST ACTOR, DRAMA
Prediction: George Clooney, Up In The Air
If I Had A Vote:  Liam Neeson, Taken – I’d like to see him take on Jason Bourne, winner take all.

BEST PICTURE, COMEDY OR MUSICAL
Prediction: (500) Days of Summer
If I Had A Vote: The Hangover – I hope this blog is pager friendly.

BEST ACTRESS, COMEDY OR MUSICAL
Prediction:  Meryl Streep (40% chance of being right)
If I Had A Vote:  Miley Cyrus – she’s comedic and musical – she’s funny looking and I laugh at her when she sings

BEST ACTOR, COMEDY OR MUSICAL
Prediction:  Matt Damon, The Informant
If I Had A Vote:  Zach Galifianakis, The Hangover – that movie isn’t the same without him in that role, seriously, put Robert Duvall in that same role, movie not as funny.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Prediction:  Mo’Nique, Precious
If I Had A Vote: Mo’Nque, Beerfest – sure it’s 3 years too late, but they should honor her for entire body of work.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Prediction:  Christoph Waltz, Inglourious Basterds
If I Had A Vote: Same – perfectly played performance, hopefully Tarantino makes him a regular in his films moving forward.

BEST DIRECTOR
Prediction:  James Cameron, Avatar
If I Had A Vote:  Ken Kwapis, He’s Just Not That Into You – for managing to collect a paycheck and actually not taking his own life after having to direct such an awful piece of garbage.
