So, what does everyone predict for the Globes winners? Will there be any surprise wins?

Will there be any surprises in general (drunk stars embarrassing themselves, people with perplexed reactions)?

Who will do the worst job at acting surprised? Who will cry? Who will majorly fuck up their presentation speech? Anything else I've missed?

I've actually been thinking about the Best Picture - Comedy/Musical category now. What is going to happen now? We haven't really discussed the Globes in relation to the guilds support now. Little Miss Sunshine just swept the Guilds with nominations in the big four: PGA, DGA, WGA and SAG Ensemble. Suddenly, Little Miss Sunshine is a big contender. Before hand, it seemed obvious Dreamgirls was going to win Best Picture (Comedy/Musical), but now I could see Little Miss Sunshine having a legitimate chance of winning.

I also don't think Clint has any chance of winning, both because he is double nommed and because the Guilds showed zero support for him or his films. Will Iwo Jima win Best Foreign Film?

I'm counting down to the Globes... ready to see the stars.

Peace,
Mike.

Marty will win Best Director, that's a lock.

Might be interesting to see what wins the Best Musical or Comedy Picture: LMS or Dreamgirls. If LMS wins, it would be a nice boost for its Oscar prospects.

I suspect the HFPA will be sufficiently dazzled by Dreamgirls. I think it'll win.

Drama picture is where the intrigue is. And Best Actor Drama. O'Toole or Whitaker or Smith?

Pan's Labryinth will win Best Foreign Film.

Scorsese director... duh. Mirren, Whitaker(O'Toole is not owed at the Globes, if he wins here that would pretty much assure it with the extra correcting the past votes, but I don't think he will), Departed, and yes I think Little Miss Sunshine will upset.

Doesn't LMS have like 2 GG noms? I think Dreamgirls will take this.


Babel can actually win this... wooohoo

Oh, loyal...


At least we'll all be happy if Kikuchi somehow wins (she won't, obviously), right?

And a partridge in a pear tree?

It won't be showing on the west coast live, and I don't want to be spoiled, so probably won't see me from 5 until 11pm PST on Monday.

TiVoooooooooooooo

(24 for me).

Luckily Kiefer can watch his show (if he so chooses) as they'll be done taping the Globes when 24 airs in the West Coast.

(On second thought, I'll just go ahead and watch the East Coast feed of the Globes).

We can only hope...

It actually will be interesting to see how 24 holds up against the Globes (or the other way around, in a perfect world). Then 24 will go balls-to-balls with Heroes the week after. I say 24 got the bigger set in the pants.

eheh..

Sasha isn't the only one predicting that.

Not my article by the way, but I do have to display the official BOF choice.

If anything weird happens its Babel's win.

Winner predictions...

Best Picture - Drama The Departed
Actress - Drama Helen Mirren - The Queen
Actor - Drama Forest Whitaker – The Last King Of Scotland (*sigh*!)
Best Picture - Mus/Com Dreamgirls
Actress - Mus/Com Meryl Streep - The Devil Wears Prada
Actor - Mus/Com Sacha Cohen – Borat: Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan
Supp. Actress Jennifer Hudson - Dreamgirls
Supp. Actor Eddie Murphy - Dreamgirls (or Brad Pitt, can't decide on this one)
Animated Film Cars
Foreign Language Film Letters From Iwo Jima (because of Clint's two directing noms)
Best Director Martin Scorsese – The Departed
Screenplay Babel (it's gotta win somewhere)
Score Babel
Song "Listen" - Dreamgirls

TV (I always suck at these, this is like a shot in the dark)

TV - Drama Heroes
Actress - Drama Ellen Pompeo – Grey's Anatomy
Actor - Drama Michael C. Hall – Dexter
TV - Mus/Com Ugly Betty
Actress - Mus/Com America Ferrera – Ugly Betty
Actor - Mus/Com Steve Carell – The Office
Mini-Series Elisabeth I
Actress Mini-Series Helen Mirren – Elizabeth I
Actor - Mini-Series Chiwetel Ejiofor – Tsunami, The Aftermath
Supp Actress Toni Collette – Tsunami, The Aftermath
Supp Actor Masi Oka – Heroes

Predictions:

Best Picture - Drama: The Departed
Best Picture - M/C: Dreamgirls
Actress - Drama: Helen Mirren - The Queen
Actor - Drama: Forest Whitaker – The Last King Of Scotland
Actress - M/C: Meryl Streep - The Devil Wears Prada
Actor - M/C: Sacha Cohen – Borat: Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan
Best Director: Martin Scorsese – The Departed
Supp. Actress: Jennifer Hudson - Dreamgirls
Supp. Actor: Brad Pitt, Babel
Animated Film: Cars
Foreign Language Film: Letters From Iwo Jima
Screenplay: The Departed
Score: Babel
Song: "Listen" - Dreamgirls

This way the wins are spread out like the Globes like to do. The two Best Picture winners get 3 wins each (The Departed and Dreamgirls), and Babel (2) and The Queen (1) also get their notices. Little Miss Sunshine was ignored by the Globes in a way, so it doesn't really have a chance to win anything. If it was given a screenplay nomination, I would have given LMS a win there, but alas, LMS didn't get a nomination. Borat, Letters from Iwo Jima, and The Devil Wears Prada also bring home awards too.

Peace,
Mike.

My predictions:

Movie

Best Picture (Drama): Babel

Kinda weird choices for some of em. Can't wait for Monday!

I have to record 24. I hate life.

Didn't really know where else to post this (or if anyone else had), but Sacha Baron Cohen finally did an interview for NPR as... Sacha Baron Cohen. Borat makes an appearance, though, I believe.

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/stor ... Id=6723074

Best Picture Drama “Babel”
Best Picture Comedy or Musical “Little Miss Sunshine”
Best Actor Drama Forest Whitaker, “The Last King of Scotland”
Best Actress Drama Helen Mirren, “The Queen”

My predictions. I'll likely be watching 24 though.

My totally awesome predictions

Best Picture, Drama: The Departed
Best Picture, Musical/Comedy: Dreamgirls
Best Director: Martin Scorsese, The Departed
Actor, Drama: Will Smith, The Pursuit of Happyness (I'm thinking this will be the "didn't see that coming" win of the night)
Actor, Comedy: Sacha Baron Cohen, Borat
Actress, Drama: Helen Mirren, The Queen
Actress, Comedy: Meryl Streep, The Devil Wears Prada
Supporting Actor: Eddie Murphy, Dreamgirls
Supporting Actress: Jennifer Hudson, Dreamgirls
Screenplay: The Departed

I hope you're right and the Departed wins.

Is there a more predictable set of lead acting wins for Drama, as well as Supporting Actress?

I think Supporting Actor is the most weird category this year.

Possible upsets, I'm thinking:

Babel or The Queen winning over The Departed
Inarritu or Frears over Scorsese
Johnny Depp over Sacha
