Golden Globe Predictions

The Golden Globes are Sunday night so here are my predictions on who will win!

Best Movie - Drama
The Descendants
The Help
Hugo
The Ides of March
Moneyball
War Horse
Who Will Win - I'm going to do a little wishful thinking and say Hugo. But don't count out The Descendants or The Help!

Best Movie - Comedy / Musical
50/50
The Artist
Bridesmaids
Midnight in Paris
My Week With Marilyn
Who Will Win - If The Artist doesn't win I will be shocked even though Bridesmaids is the only really outright laugh out loud comedy listed there.

Best Actor - Drama
George Clooney - The Descendants
Leonardo DiCaprio - J. Edgar
Michael Fassbender - Shame
Ryan Gosling - The Ides of March
Brad Pitt - Moneyball
Who Will Win - Did you see the HOTNESS of this category? Honey, we ALL win! (But, seriously, Clooney).

Best Actress - Drama
Glenn Close - Albert Nobbs
Viola Davis - The Help
Rooney Mara - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Meryl Streep - The Iron Lady
Tilda Swinton - We Need to Talk About Kevin
Who Will Win - When in doubt, always go with Meryl!

Best Actor - Comedy / Musical
Jean Dujardin - The Artist
Brendan Gleeson - The Guard
Joseph Gordon-Levitt - 50/50
Ryan Gosling - Crazy Stupid Love
Owen Wilson - Midnight in Paris
Who Will Win - If Dujardin doesn't win, I will be shocked.

Best Actress - Comedy / Musical
Jodie Foster - Carnage
Charlize Theron - Young Adult
Kristin Wiig - Bridesmaids
Michelle Williams - My Week With Marilyn
Kate Winslet - Carnage
Who Will Win - Look, Michelle's performance as Marilyn Monroe was my favorite female performance of the year. I am 85% sure she is going to win an Oscar in a month. But given the crazy, unpredictable nature of the Golden Globes, part of me really, really, really wants Wiig to win!

Best Supporting Actor
Kenneth Branagh - My Week With Marilyn
Albert Brooks - Drive
Jonah Hill - Moneyball
Viggo Mortensen - A Dangerous Method
Christopher Plummer - Beginners
Who Will Win - Plummer!!

Best Supporting Actress
Berenice Bejo - The Artist
Jessica Chastain - The Help
Janet McTeer - Albert Nobbs
Octavia Spencer - The Help
Shailene Woodley - The Descendants
Who Will Win - I'm sensing there is going to be some ridiculous level of love for The Artist so I'm kind of leaning with Bejo. This category seems wide open though and I'm personally pulling for either Chastain or Woodley.

Best Director
Woody Allen - Midnight in Paris
George Clooney - The Ides of March
Michel Hazanavicius - The Artist
Alexander Payne - The Descendants
Martin Scorsese - Hugo
Who Will Win - Again, it depends on the love of The Artist. I could see Payne winning here, but I'm going with Hazanavicius. I think the Globes are going to love The Artist.
