The Golden Globes unleash their award show fury tomorrow, January 15th at 5pm West Coast time, and while many will be talking about red carpet fashion, you are preparing for your perfect Golden Globe scorecard. Yes, you will be shouting out every single winner before its announced. And how is that? Well, because you've read Crack My Story's Golden Globe edition.
MOVIE GOLDEN GLOBES
Best Motion Picture Drama
Black Swan
The Fighter
Inception
The King's Speech
The Social Network
This is one of the better GG races in years, but The Social Network should get the most likes, primarily due to its thematic resonance on our attention-seeking social media generation. Close secondary contenders are The King's Speech or Black Swan (for a surprise). But my vote is The Social Network, which already won The Critic's Choice.
Best Motion Picture Comedy or Musical
Alice in Wonderland
Burlesque
The Kids Are All Right
Red
The Tourist
A joke of a category, with two action thrillers and one action adventure, The Kids Are All Right should be in the drama category, but it will easily win this GG here.
Best Director of a Motion Picture
Darren Aronofsky - Black Swan
David Fincher - The Social Network
Tom Hooper - The King's Speech
Christopher Nolan - Inception
David O Russell - The Fighter
Another close race, but I believe they will favor Aronofsky, a consolation for the lack of a Best Pic award, leaving David Fincher just shy of a win.
Best Screenplay for a Motion Picture
Danny Boyle, Simon Beaufoy - 127 Hours
Lisa Cholodenko, Stuart Blumberg - The Kids Are All Right
Christopher Nolan - Inception
David Seidler - The King's Speech
Aaron Sorkin - The Social Network
There's no denying Sorkin's words leap off the screen, and I think that will earn him the GG.
Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama
Halle Berry - Frankie and Alice
Nicole Kidman - Rabbit Hole
Jennifer Lawrence - Winter's Bone
Natalie Portman - Black Swan
Michelle Williams - Blue Valentine
A heavy-hitting category, but it's a slam dunk for Natalie Portman.
Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama
Jesse Eisenberg - The Social Network
Colin Firth - The King's Speech
James Franco - 127 Hours
Ryan Gosling - Blue Valentine
Mark Wahlberg - The Fighter
It's like Ben Stiller said in Tropic Thunder. You win awards when you go half retard. The stammer portrayed by Colin Firth fits in that category. He'll take home the crown here.
Best Actress in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical
Annette Bening - The Kids Are All Right
Anne Hathaway - Love and Other Drugs
Angelina Jolie - The Tourist
Julianna Moore - The Kids Are All Right
Emma Stone - Easy A
Annette Bening feels like an award winner, and her performance seems the most like a preformance, and she's the most obvious winner.
Best Actor in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical
Johnny Depp - Alice in Wonderland
Johnny Depp - The Tourist
Paul Giamatti - Barney's Version
Jake Gyllenhaal - Love and Other Drugs
Kevin Spacey - Casino Jack
It's a crime that either Depp role is even nominated. This is a close one between the respected Giamatti and the recognizeale Depp, but I believe Depp for Alice in Wonderland will upset.
Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture
Amy Adams - The Fighter
Helena Bonham Carter - The King's Speech
Mila Kunis - Black Swan
Melissa Leo - The Fighter
Jacki Weaver - Animal Kingdom
We'd love Mila flip out over a win, but it's going to Amy Adams for her flip out brawl in The Fighter.
Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture
Christian Bale - The Fighter
Michael Douglas - Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps
Andrew Garfield - The Social Network
Jeremy Renner - The Town
Geoffrey Rush - The King's Speech
Christian Bale pulls of an absolutely amazing performance and deserves this obvious win.
Best Animated Feature Film
Despicable Me
How To Train Your Dragon
The Illusionist
Tangled
Toy Story 3
Anyone who has seen Toy Story 3 knows it isn't just the best animated film of the year, it's potentially the best of the year.
Best Foreign Language Film
Biutiful
The Concert
The Edge
I Am Love
In a Better World
Not all voters view these films, which is why Javiar Bardem and Biutiful will win as the most recognizable film in the category.
Best Original Score in a Motion Picture
Alexandre Desplat - The King's Speech
Danny Elfman - Alice in Wonderland
AR Rahman - 127 Hours
Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross - The Social Network
Hans Zimmer - Inception
A lot of great composers, but the amazing Social Network score will win the NIN founder Trent Reznor his first GG.
Best Original Song in a Motion Picture
Bound to You - Burlesque
Coming Home - Country Song
I See The Light - Tangled
There is a Place for Us - Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader
You Haven't Seen the Last of Me - Burlesque
Regardless of which song is best, I think Country Strong has a good chance of beating Christina's dual nominations, but the favorite is actually Cher's You Haven't Seen the Last of Me. I predict Country Strong.
TV GOLDEN GLOBES
Best TV Series Drama
Boardwalk Empire
Dexter
The Good Wife
Mad Men
The Walking Dead
A hard win for Mad Men to repeat, Boardwalk Empire is a fresh win for the category.
Best TV Series Comedy or Musical
30 Rock
The Big Bang Theory
The Big C
Glee
Modern Family
Nurse Jackie
A lot of tough contenders, but I think Hollywood favorite Modern Family will take it again. People are over Glee.
Best Actress in a TV Drama
Julianna Margulies - The Good Wife
Elizabeth Moss - Mad Men
Piper Perabo - Covert Affairs
Katey Sagal - Sons of Anarchy
Kyra Sedgwick - The Closer
Julianna Margulies is just too good on this network drama.
Best Actor in a TV Drama
Steve Buscemi - Boardwalk Empire
Bryan Cranston - Breaking Bad
Michael C Hall - Dexter
Jon Hamm - Mad Men
Hugh Laurie - House
One of the toughest GG categories, I think Cranston will edge out Hamm and Laurie, although Buscemi could be a surprise win.
Best Actress in a TV Comedy or Musical
Toni Collette - United States of Tara
Edie Falco - Nurse Jackie
Tina Fey - 30 Rock
Laura Linney - The Big C
Lea Michele - Glee
Cancer will win over the mixed bag here. I mean, Laura Linney.
Best Actor in a TV Comedy or Musical
Alec Baldwin - 30 Rock
Steve Carell - The Office
Thomas Jane - Hung
Matthew Morrison - Glee
Jim Parsons - The Big Bang Theory
Steve Carell deserves some praise for his run on the Office, but Jim Parsons is too good as uber-geek Sheldon Cooper.
To close, I'm just not familiar enough with the Miniseries categories to guess those, but if I had to guess, I'd say Pacific for Miniseries, Al Pacino and Claire Danes for the acting nods. I feel strongly about my scorecard for these 20 categories. Care to disagree? Let me know.
