I don't believe they will go for a super broad hit comedy this year, not over prestigious, crowd pleasing comic trifles such as Hyde Park on Hudson and Quartet. So no Ted or 21 Jump. Just a gut feeling.

This is the Globes though. They usually go for at least one.

Hitchcock is considered a drama by the Globes. A shame for it. I believe it could have easily scored a nomination as a comedy. No way Harvey would have let them deem it a drama if it were his property. ;)

In the drama category at the Globes, I am predicting:

Argo
Django Unchained
Life of Pi
Lincoln
The Master

And I believe it will be a win for Life of Pi, even if it does not go on to win the top prize at the Oscars.

Yes and no: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Glo ... medy#2000s

I see the nominations for, say, Legally Blonde and even the win for The Hangover, but just as many years are devoid of a huge, mainstream comedy hit.

I believe Ted is too vulgar, too pop culture reference infused, too American, too "Family Guy," etc. to score a nomination.

My Drama picks:

Lincoln
Argo
Life of Pi
The Master
The Impossible


Maybe Zero Dark Thirty? No clue how it will be received yet.


I think Lincoln will win it.

Is Silver Linings Playbook officially considered Comedy for the Globes now?

I still think Inglourious Basterds should have been nominated for best Comedy, not drama.
