Post Golden Globe Predictions
So who do you think is gonna walk away with the statues? Who will leave empty handed? Here's my take in the film catagories:

Best Picture, Drama

The Aviator

It just seems to have the most momentum out of the five nominees. Plus, who from the Hollywood Foriegn Press can resist a movie about Hollywood (well...at least a lot of it is).


Best Picture, Comedy or Musical

Sideways

Ray could pull an upset, but I'm putting my eggs in this basket because it appears to have the strongest critical reviews. It's also slightly reminiscent of Lost In Translation's win last year.


Best Director

Clint Eastwood, Million Dollar Baby

Mmmm, toss up between Marty and Clint :???: Since Scorsese won so recently, I'm betting Estwood will take it...by a hair.


Best Actor, Drama

Johnny Depp, Finding Neverland

Another tight race :mad: Just a hunch, although I wouldn't be surprised if Leo wins it.


Best Actress, Drama

Hillary Swank, Million Dollar Baby

Swank's performance will KO the competition.


Best Actor, Musical or Comedy

Jamie Foxx, Ray

Carrey's great as well, but Foxx is a no-brainer. Probably the safest bet anywhere.


Best Actress, Musical or Comedy

Annette Bening, Being Julia

The HFP loves actors who play actors. She's also part of Hollywood's elite.


Best Supporting Actor

Thomas Harden Church, Sideways

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Freeman wins it, but I'm gonna go with my gut yet again. Church arguably gives the strongest performance in a much-loved movie filled with great acting.


Best Supporting Actress

Cate Blanchett, The Aviator

Like what I said with Bening, she's got that whole 'actor-playing-actor' thing. She seems to have a solid lock on it.


Best Screenplay

Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor, Sideways

I really want Eternal Sunshine of the Spottless Mind to get some love, but the movie seems to have lost a bit too much steam. Sideways seems to have the HFP by the balls and I think they'll want to reward the quirky script.[/list]

Best Picture, Drama

The Aviator

Has everything going for it. It is also pushed by Miramax. A definite choice by the HFPA

Best Picture, Comedy or Musical

Sideways

It's a lock. It's winning awards left and right, getting infinite praise.

Best Director

Martin Scorcese

Pretty much a lock, I think. He won for a weaker GONY...


Best Actor, Drama

Don Cheadle, Hotel Rwanda

Depp and DiCaprio will cancel each other out, Cheadle will get the dge.


Best Actress, Drama

Hillary Swank, Million Dollar Baby

LOCK


Best Actor, Musical or Comedy

Jamie Foxx, Ray

LOCK


Best Actress, Musical or Comedy

Annette Bening, Being Julia


Ot's either her or Winslet, my guts tell me it's her.


Best Supporting Actor

Thomas Harden Church, Sideways

It'll be between him and Freeman, but I think that Sideways will get at least one acting award.


Best Supporting Actress

Cate Blanchett, The Aviator

She's due, she plays a Hollywood legend that died not too long ago and she is actually THAT good.


Best Screenplay

Sideways

Well, either that or Eternal Sunshine...

Best Song:

"Old Habits"

C'mon, it's Mick Jagger!

Best Foreing Picture:

The Sea Inside

It is actually THAT good.

Best Picture (Drama)

- The Aviator

Best Picture (Comedy or Musical)

- Sideways

Best Director

-Clint Eastwood (Million Dollar Baby)

Scorsese got it two years ago, so I don't think he'll get it again this soon. Plus the GG's like to spread the wealth around.

Best Actor (Drama)

-Leonardo Dicaprio (The Aviator)

A tough call between Leo, Cheadle, and Depp.

Best Actress (Drama)

-Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake)

Best Actor (Musical or Comedy)

- Jamie Foxx (Ray)

Best Actress (Musical or Comedy)

- Kate Winslett (ESOTSM)

I'm predicting an upset in this category. Winslett will finally win a major award for this performance.

Best Supporting Actor

- Thomas Haden Church (Sideways)

Sideways should win at least one acting award and I think this is most likely.

Best Supporting Actress

- Natalie Portman (Closer)

I may regret this prediction, but the GGs love up-and-coming starlets.

Best Screenplay

-Sideways

Best Song...couldn't even guess.

Best Foreign Film

-The Sea Inside

You can see the other thread, but I'm sticking to my prediction that The Aviator won't win Best Picture tonight.

I will most likely be wrong, but...

Best Picture, Drama - The Aviator
Almost a foregon conclusion. Scorsese's last film won out to The Hours. That will not happen again.

Best Picture, Comedy or Musical - Sideways
This is a foregone conclusion.

Best Director - Alexander Payne, Sideways
You know... Eastwood and Scorsese have won this before...

Best Actor, Drama - Leonardo DiCaprio, The Aviator
Perfect win, and he's wonderful.

Best Actress, Drama - Hillary Swank, Million Dollar Baby
No chance.

Best Actor, Musical or Comedy - Jamie Foxx, Ray
Safest bet at GG and safest bet at Oscars

Best Actress, Musical or Comedy - Kate Winslet, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Who cares about all these misc. stats about Annette Bening, nobody cares about this movie or her. Whereas Kate Winslet is an it girl in people and has TWO films in contention that she could both be nominated for.

Best Supporting Actor - Thomas Harden Church, Sideways
Globes are TV + Movies, and now that I think about it, it might give Church the edge over Freeman (who's still as much in the running, in fact maybe a little more than Church, for Oscar win).

Best Supporting Actress - Cate Blanchett, The Aviator
This is probably the defining supporting role of the year.

Best Screenplay - Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor, Sideways
Easy.

Best Foreign Film - The Motorcycle Diaries

Best Song - "Old Habits", Alfie

Origional Score - Howard Shore, The Aviator
Although... he just won LAST YEAR.

Best Picture, Drama, The Aviator

Best Picture, Comedy or Musical, Sideways

Best Director - Clint Eastwood, Million Dollar Baby (I just dont see Martin winning a second in 3 years. Payne is actually looking pretty good to me right now, but I'm sticking with Clint.)

Best Actor, Drama - Leonardo DiCaprio, The Aviator

Best Actress, Drama - Hillary Swank, Million Dollar Baby (But don't count out Imedla)

Best Actor, Musical or Comedy - Jamie Foxx, Ray

Best Actress, Musical or Comedy-Annette Bening, Being Julia

Best Supporting Actor-Clive Owen, Closer (Maybe more because I want him to win, but he has a great shot) THC or MF are the only other two who can win.

Best Supporting Actress-Virginia Madsen, Sideways (I'm thinking Cate might get this, but, again because I liked Virginia's performance better and she's getting more acclaim than Cate, I think she'll get it. Cate's already won before.)

Best Screenplay - Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor, Sideways


Best Foreign Film -House of Flying Daggers

Best Song - "Old Habits Die Hard", Alfie

Original Score-Finding Neverland (This will be the lone win, if it gets anything)
