I swear these are my last predictions before the big Oscar ones. I postponed my usual Best Actress posting to put this up. The Globe noms will be announced on Tuesday (I think). So these are the possible nominees. Hell, my predictions! Just in the acting category, because these are the ones I care mostly about. The photos, I guess, represent possible winners (and nomination locks).

We'll see! Unfortunately I'll be at work when they'll announce them, but maybe I can see a recording of the live announcement when I get home (and ignore any info by then). Let's hope youtube will work fast.

Wouldn't "Up in the Air" fall in the Comedy category? Also I just saw "Me and Orson Welles" and Christian McKay is brilliant as Orson Welles and I think he should win Best Supporting Actor.
PS When are the nominations announced?
Why do you think Julianne won't get a nomination?
Tom, Up in the Air was officially announced in the Drama category. So no debate on that. :) I would never see Me and Orson Welles unless I'm dragged or by some miracle it gets an Oscar nom. To me, it's like the worse trailer of the year :)
Joe, because of screentime. She's not in it a lot and although they won't be able to ignore Firth, I don't think they'll go nuts for this movie. What contradicts my theory: they like Julianne Moore in general.
Do you really think that Everybody's Fine is in the Comedy category? I think it would go in Drama...
well, Vanessa, it's hardly what I think it is... It's what the Golden Globes announced before the nominations. They usually release lists with which movie is what. It was also announced then that An Education and Up in the Air would compete in drama and not comedy
Really? On IMDb its categorized as Drama...how strange...its probably all politics about in which category it would have a bigger chance to win...
Why isn't anyone on the Bullock Express? She really is the potential "surprise."
Think "Erin Brokovich."
Julia Roberts shocked everyone by beating Ellen Burstyn, a favourite that year. Likewise, everyone has championed Carey Mulligan and Streep...and they could easily lose.
Bullock has a lot of love among the actors...that love could easily translate into votes.
Bullock tied in with Streep at "Critics Choice Awards!"
"surprise!"
Lol, we shall see..we shall see.
