Golden Globe Predictions

Maybe it's because I've been forced to watch football every Sunday for the past four months, but I am even more excited than normal for Sunday's Golden Globes Awards. Pretty girls in pretty dresses! Handsome men looking sexy in suits! Plus, this year was the best year for movies since 2007. There are three movies heavily nominated that I truly LOVED this year. Here are my predictions...

Best Motion Picture - Drama
Black Swan
The Fighter
Inception
The King's Speech
The Social Network
Who WILL Win - I feel like everything is done to The Social Network and The King's Speech. I feel like the Globes are going to go with The King's Speech on this one though.
Who MIGHT Win - Read Above.
Who SHOULD Win - This category includes all three of the movies I loved this year. Plus, I liked The Fighter a whole lot also. I really wouldn't be upset if anything but The King's Speech won. However, The Social Network is too good to pass by.

Best Actress - Drama
Halle Berry in Frankie and Alice
Nicole Kidman in Rabbit Hole
Jennifer Lawrence in Winter's Bone
Natalie Portman in Black Swan
Michelle Williams in Blue Valentine
Who WILL Win - Portman. Since the Globes break down Drama and Comedy, she doesn't even have to contend with Annette Bening.
Who MIGHT Win - Portman.
Who SHOULD Win - Portman.

Best Actor - Drama
Jesse Eisenberg in The Social Network
Colin Firth in The King's Speech
James Franco in 127 Hours
Ryan Gosling in Blue Valentine
Mark Wahlberg in The Fighter
Who WILL Win - Firth.
Who MIGHT Win - There could be a Franco upset... but I doubt it.
Who SHOULD Win - Eisenberg, who gives the best performance of his career and the second best performance of the year!

Best Movie - Comedy or Musical
Alice in Wonderland
Burlesque
The Kids Are All Right
Red
The Tourist
Who WILL Win - The Kids Are All Right, because it's the best out of this crappy group of nominees.
Who MIGHT Win - The Kids Are All Right.
Who SHOULD Win - Easy A... oh, wait.

Best Actress - Comedy or Musical
Annette Bening in The Kids Are All Right
Anne Hathaway in Love and Other Drugs
Angelina Jolie in The Tourist
Julianne Moore in The Kids Are All Right
Emma Stone in Easy A
Who WILL Win - Bening has it wrapped up, thanks to Portman being in the Drama category.
Who MIGHT Win - Just Bening.
Who SHOULD Win - I preferred Moore in that particular movie and I also preferred Stone to both of them.

Best Actor - Comedy or Musical
Johnny Depp in Alice in Wonderland
Johnny Depp in The Tourist
Paul Giamatti in Barney's Version
Jake Gyllenhaal in Love and Other Drugs
Kevin Spacey in Casino Jack
Who WILL Win - Johnny Depp... but for which one, is the question... My money says Alice in Wonderland.
Who MIGHT Win - Depp for The Tourist.

Who WILL Win - Leo will take it home.

Best Director
Darren Aronofksy - Black Swan

Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad
Michael C. Hall in Dexter
