I don't follow the Golden Globes as much as the Oscars, but they're coming on Sunday night and I wanna take a stab at some predictions.

I slept on this and changed a few picks the next morning.

The biggest thing to watch for is if Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Parasite or The Irishman win 2 or 3 of Director, Screenplay and their respective Best Picture/Film categories. That's a strong hint at who might be winning the Oscar for Best Picture.

BEST PICTURE (DRAMA)
Joker

I have Joker beating the much more obvious The Irishman and the obvious runner-up Marriage Story as 2020's version of Bohemian Rhapsody beating A Star Is Born and Black Panther. I see Joker as this year's Bohemian Rhapsody, riding a wave of fan support into awards season. Which ever film wins here helps their Oscar chances for Best Picture, whether that means The Irishman keeping the top 3 as a top 3, Marriage Story or 1917 pushing from just outside the top 3 into front-runner status, or Joker moving from "no real chance" to "potential upset". The Two Popes has ZERO chance here.

BEST ACTOR (DRAMA)
Joker - Joaquin Phoenix

It's the Joaquin Phoenix and Adam Driver two-way race this year. Phoenix seems like more of a "Globes" choice, whereas the Oscars are less audience-driven and care more about what the critics think. It's one of the two for sure.

BEST ACTRESS (DRAMA)
Judy - Rene Zellweger

I had this as Scarlett Johansson last night, but Zellweger is winning all of the smaller awards and will probably continue that success here and at the Oscars. Theron would be a big suprise, the other two women have no shot.

BEST PICTURE (COMEDY/MUSICAL)
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood

This is pretty clearly Hollywood's award to win, however there is a small small chance of Jojo Rabbit winning, which would crush Hollywood's Best Picture Oscar chances and push Jojo Rabbit from "outside the top 5" to "almost a front-runner but not quite". Any other result would crush Hollywood ever more. It's gonna be Holywood though.

BEST ACTOR (COMEDY/MUSICAL
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood - Leonardo DiCaprio

Edgerton or Murphy aren't happening IMO. People keep forgetting how good DiCaprio was and how good Hollywood was because it came out way back in July. This is a pretty easy choice.

BEST ACTRESS (COMEDY/MUSICAL)
The Farewell - Awkwafina

Ana De Armas would be a cool choice, but this category is basically one potential Oscar nominee versus 4 other actresses. It's not much of a contest. Consider Awkwafina's Oscar nomination chances on life support if she loses this.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood - Brad Pitt

Joe Pesci could maybe steal this, but I don't think so. The Irishman is a newer shinier toy, but Hollywood was great and Pitt was pretty good.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Hustlers - Jennifer Lopez

Some - myself included - think Laura Dern's whole front-runner status is built on her career and how good Marriage Story is, but not on her Marriage Story performance itself. Lopez is the audience choice that the Globes can be swayed by. Florence Pugh was robbed of a nomination here.

BEST DIRECTOR
Parasite - Bong Joon Ho

This is 1917's big shot to get back into Oscar talk for Best Director and Best Picture, but the three front-runners look like unbeatable powerhouses. Whoever wins here, this is BIG for the Oscars. This can push one of the three Oscar front-funners ahead of the other two, especially if Hollywood or The Irishman win this AND Best Picture here. Joker or 1917 winning this and/or Picture is obviously a really big deal and makes them Oscar front-runners or just outside that group in the second tier with Marriage Story.

BEST SCREENPLAY
Marriage Story - Noah Baumbach

This is a HUGE moment for Marriage Story, where it needs to win this to stay in the Best Picture conversation. The Two Popes has no chance. Any of the three front-runners winning this is a big deal, especially if they can also win Picture and/or Director.

BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM
Parasite

It's just gotta be Parasite. If Portrait Of A Lady On Fire wins, it hurts Parasite in the big picture.

BEST ANIMATED FEATURE FILM
Toy Story 4

I don't think Frozen II can beat Toy Story 4.

BEST ORIGINAL SCORE
Joker - Hildur Gudnadottir

This category is a bit more wide open than others. I'm going with Joker.

BEST ORIGINAL SONG
Rocketman - (I'm Gonna) Love Me Again

It's this or "Into The Unknown" from Frozen II, I hope. Lion King winning this or Animated Feature is a cringe job.

Not a single nomination for the DuPont movie? Not good, folks. This is why our country is dying. They're poisoning us, and Hollywood doesn't even care when the elite cabal of criminals gets exposed for harming us.

The bottom line is nointy noin percent of us have toxins in our blood, most especially people like the farmers and coal miners, but Hollywood doesn't care that we miss our carpets. That's the bottom line.

Does he ever end up mentioning that Charlie cheated on Nicole? I really don't want to partake in watching and supporting his channel in any way if he really is part of an internet reactionary circle.

As I said in my summation (well not really, it was pretty long) of the film, the movie made me move back and forth in my sympathy between the couple only for me to realize that the movie wasn't really forcing you to choose sides. It's just how divorces go. They're complicated and nuanced, as I know first-hand from my parents' recent divorce.

Also Noah Baumbach supposedly based the movie, and the character of Charlie specifically, on himself during his divorce from Jennifer Jason Leigh, so would he really have a pro-feminist agenda with that being the case?

I saw the movie and liked it, and I would say it was a well made film. That being said, absolutely none of the acting, directing, screenplay or score were amazing or best-of-the-year. It's just a good movie, that's it, despite being extremely eye-opening and culturally important.

I kind of don't want to watch it for the same reasons you stated. I might get around to it. Just that video description alone got my attention.

God, I would love to see Marriage Story do that well and The Irishman win nothing. I don't think it'll turn out this way, but I really hope it does.

By contrast, in the one non-internet conversation I've had about this film, one of the women I was talking to said that she didn't want to see it because she heard that it portrayed the guy in too good of a light.

And that may well be the ballgame for Marriage Story...

Edit: So...how about 1917?

Edit: So...how about 1917?
Parasite did OK, but far from perfect.
The Irishman didn't win anyting.
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood did GREAT.
Marriage Story didn't win anything
1917 did EXTREMELY well, above expectations
Jojo Rabbit didn't win anything.
Joker did well, but didn't exceed expectations.


I think the new Oscar list for Best Picture contenders probaby looks like:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Parasite
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The Irishman
1917
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Marriage Story
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Joker
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Jojo Rabbit
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Little Women
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Ford V Ferrari, The Farewell, Uncut Gems
The Two Popes, Bombshell, Knives Out
etc etc
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -


This positions Best Original Screenplay and Best Director as the major indicators of who will win Best Picture between Parasite and Hollywood. If one film wins both, it's extremely likey to win Best Picture. If they win one each, it's a nail biter.

My post-Globes takeaways, with the usual caveat that it's just the Golden Globes:

Dern and Pitt seem like done deals now. I think the Supporting categories are basically wrapped.

Zellweger still seems a little vulnerable to win Best Actress, but unlike last year with Colman upsetting in the end, there's no other contender that singularly commands a strong base of support.

In Best Actor, I don't know who wins, but Phoenix absolutely could, though I wouldn't rule out Driver or possibly even DiCaprio, depending on how SAG goes. (And also in Best Actor, I could definitely see a scenario where Egerton gets nominated.)

As for Best Picture, is it between Parasite, The Irishman, OUATIH, and... 1917 now? Seemed like there was a lot of hype after it first started screening, then it died down, but I could definitely see it coming back.

I'm fairly confident in Driver/Phoenix winning Best Actor, and Scarlett Johansson has a clear leg up on Theron and Ronan in my eyes.

I agree that if Zellweger does end up losing Actress, she'll lose to Johansson. As for Actor, it's almost certainly Phoenix or Driver (I did hear a wild theory of the case for DiCaprio to sneak through the precursors at the last minute, but that doesn't seem like it's happening). In any case, SAG is the decider: if Phoenix loses, the Oscar is a photo finish. But if he wins, it's a lock.

I can't speak to the quality of many of the films that were nominated (though I may now go out of my way to see 1917 in theaters). But I wholeheartedly endorse Succession (best drama), Fleabag (best comedy), and Chernobyl (best miniseries). I also like seeing Ramy get some attention.

Movies that are basically done now (IMO), that will be nominated for Oscars but won't win:

- Jojo Rabbit
- Little Women (still tiny chance for Score, Supporting Actress)
- Ford V Ferrari (can still win technical stuff, no acting directing screenplay)
- The Two Popes
- The Farewell (Awkwafina won but Drama actresses are all "better")
- Knives Out

Did anybody else like Ricky Gervais ripping into Hollywood and all the actors/actresses? I was amazed with how hard he went after everybody. Good for you Ricky.

Definitely disagree on Jojo Rabbit, that one is gonna play far better with the guilds and Oscars than anyone else.  If Taika Watiti gets a Best Director nomination tomorrow (sadly, I don’t think he will) and Johansson also gets a supporting actress nomination (I do think this will happen) then Jojo Rabbit is one of the frontrunners for BP.  Otherwise, it’ll have to make due with having like a 40% chance of winning Best Adapted Screenplay and various nominations.  In other words, the jury is still out on that one.

He’s always been one of the few good awards show hosts for this reason.  The Globes let him do his thing.  If you have Chris Rock, you gotta let him do race jokes.  If you have Jon Stewart, you gotta let him do political jokes.  If you have some random old person or two random actors, you’re doing it wrong and would be better off with no host.

I can't see Jojo Rabbit (Taika) winning Director. It would need Best Adaped Screenplay to win Best Picture.

(EDIT - Oops, keep thinking Hollywood is Adapted, but that's The Irishman. Scratch all of that about Hollywood being a lock moreso than before for Adapted Screenplay)

The Irishman will probably still beat Jojo Rabbit. All that being said, I hope I'm wrong. I LOVED Jojo Rabbit.

Also, Oscars nominations aren't being announced Monday (today), they're next Monday (January 13th). Unless you meant BAFTA / PGA / some other nominations which are coming Tuesday (tomorrow).

that was freaking awesome.  There are, no doubt, good people working in the business (I'd guess that a majority of the actual on screen talent are decent people), but as a whole, the entertainment industry is a cess pool of horrible people, doing every thing they can to dumb down art to the lowest common denominator just so their margins are sure to be 12% better.

Taika doesn't need to win Best Director for Jojo Rabbit to win BP, just a nomination.  Jojo Rabbit is a lock for Best Adapted Screenplay if that happens.  Also, my bad re: when they'll be announced.

2020 B.A.F.T.A. Nominees Announced

"Two days after Brits dominated the winners at the Golden Globes, the British Academy unveiled the nominees for its upcoming film awards.

Joker led the pack with 11, closely followed by The Irishman and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood on 10 and Sam Mendes' 1917 just behind with nine.
