All who are going to win

As I have been doing for a few years now, I am going to predict who will be the winners of the Golden Globe. In the last editions I got it quite right. Let’s see how I do this year.

This Sunday from 10 p.m. (TNT broadcasts) those criticized will surrender Golden Globe. After complaints of little or no representation of minorities and bribery, voters have joined, there are even reporters from Argentina who voted this year.

The Golden Globes were once known as the prelude to the Oscar, but in recent years what the globetrotters and Hollywood academics rewarded went in different ways.

As for best dramatic film, all the flashes point to Oppenheimerclosely followed by The Moon Killers (which, by the way, will be available on Apple TV+ on January 12, just in time for the Oscar nominations).

In the history of the Golden Globe Awards, young award-winning actors are usually found, taking their first steps or even with their first performance. Among this year’s rookies, best female performer in drama is Lily Gladstone (The Moon Killers) stings on point. Not even Carey Mulligan, for Maestronor Sandra Huller, for Anatomy of a fallthey seem to add chances.

Among the actors in Drama, things seem more even. If from the outset the Irishman Cillian Murphy, protagonist of Oppenheimerseemed to have everything to win his first Golden Globe (he has his second nomination in… 19 years), it seems that Bradley Cooper, for Maestroanother who never won it, will snatch it from him.

In the comedy or musical category, knowing the Golden voters, even though they have added many, the orientation seems to be the same as always. AND Barbie has everything to win. She was one of the most nominated (9) and it is very difficult for poor creatures lift the statuette.

The surprise would occur precisely in the category of best actress in a comedy, with Emma Stone (poor creatures) far surpassing Margot Robbie, who composed Barbie. And she would get her second Globe, after La La Land.

In best drama actor, Paul Giamatti, for The Holdoverswould win his third Golden Globe, leaving behind Jeffrey Wright (American Fiction).

If there were no African-American winners in the leading quartet, as best supporting actress (here there is no gender difference between drama and comedy or musical) wait for Da’Vine Joy Randolph (for The Holdovers) won it. If it’s not her, it’s another African American: Danielle Books, for The color purple. They are both first timers, another rule that balloonists love.

Best supporting actor seems to be a fix for Robert Downey Jr., for Oppenheimer, which would reach its fourth statuette. Further behind runs Ryan Gosling, for Barbiewho already won as a leading actor for La La Land.

As the best director there is no doubt that Christopher Nolan (by Oppenheimer) will win his first Golden Globe after 4 failed attempts. Martin Scorsese and Greta Gerwig are running far behind.

And it could win best script, but it would be the award reserved for Greta Gerwig, the co-writer and director of Barbie.

Best animated film will be Spider-Man: Through the Spider-Verse. An American beating the Japanese The boy and the heronde Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Awayamong many other masterpieces).

In the field in which Argentina, 1985 won last year, the best film not spoken in English, the bidding seems focused between Anatomy of a fallby the French Justine Triet (Palm d’Or in Cannes in 2023) and Past Lives, by the Korean Celine Song. In other words: the award is won by a female filmmaker.

The globistas do not go beyond music and the original song in the so-called technical areas. No photography direction, art direction, costumes, makeup, effects and stuff like that. Original band, it will be another award for Oppenheimerwhich will be raised and thanked by the Swede Ludwig Göransson, who has already been a candidate three other times, without luck.

Best song, it’s sung that What Was I Made For?of Barbiewill be the winner over the other two nominated songs from the film (I’m Just Ken y Dance the Night). Billie Eilish, thus, will take her second Globe in her second nomination.

And they have created a new category; whose translation would be Cinema and box office. And yes, if the highest grossing film of 2023 was Barbieit would be logical for him to take it,

Summarizing: Barbie I would win 4 Globes, Oppenheimerbetween 4 and 5, sharing the great year they had.

Ah: Meryl Streep, on TV, could break a record and win her ninth Globe, for her participation in Only Murders in the Bulding. Who could object?
