Predicting the Golden Globes...



I was so sick of King's Speech and Social Network photos, that I just decided to post some Black Swan instead. I think it will get just one nomination, for Natalie, but she'll also be winning, so the photo is, in a way, justified.

They are announcing tomorrow. Here's how I think the main categories will look like (winners in bold). Do notice that so far the only film rewarded with Best Film from the critics was The Social Network. That's depressing, but I'm still sticking to my theory: it's not winning Oscar's Best Picture and maybe not even the Golden Globe.

So here I go. I'll stand corrected in less that 24 hours:

127 Hours

I've had Hilary Swank in for Conviction up until the very last moment, but we know they really like Julia Roberts, so that seemed more probable. I can't imagine them going for Naomi Watts or even less Michelle Williams. Very indie is not their thing, I guess.
And what a mess is the Film, Comedy/Musical category. There's be some major vote splitting.

We'll see.

I'm really hoping Williams gets either a Globe or SAG nod, although I'm still not sure...either one would be crucial for her getting a nod come Oscar time.

What have made you think Naomi Watts (Fair Game) is "too indie". whereas Jennifer Lawrence (winter Bone), and to a certain extent Sally Hawkins, is not?

@hey deanie,

I haven't seen Blue Valentine yet, but I'm quite sure I'm gonna love it. but who can she replace? Manville?? I'm sure Lawrence is pretty much safe and Nicole seems likely.


@richard,
of course Fair Game is no indie. that was a complicated phrasing, sorry for that:

I can't imagine them going for Naomi Watts or even less Michelle Williams. Very indie is not their thing

I meant very indie for Blue Valentine. and yes, I think Blue V is more indie than Winter's Bone and Made in D. they did everything in one take...
