Usually have more time to make this more elaborate, but not this year…
Best Screenplay
Slumdog Millionaire. Get used to hearing that.
Best Director
Danny Boyle. And it’s about time. Although I think Fincher actually did the better job this year.
Best Foreign
Your guess is as good as mine. I’ll say Waltz With Bashir just ’cause (not to mention the BFCA win). Surprised Let the Right One In didn’t make the cut given the love it got from every other critics circle.
Best Animated
Wall-E. And you can put me down for an Oscar, too.
Best Supporting Actor
Heath. Pour some out.
Best Supporting Actress
Tough call. I’ll give it to Cruz. But Marisa could be a spoiler.
Best Actress: Musical/Comedy
Sally Hawkins. And she’ll give Winslet and Hathaway a run for their Oscar, too.
Best Actor: Musical/Comedy
Bardem with a Farrell spoiler. Sadly, this is probably the most attention In Bruges will get all year.
Best Picture: Musical/Comedy
I’d say it’s between Happy-Go-Lucky and Vicky Cristina. Slight edge to Happy because their favored performer is up for Best Actress instead of Best Supporting Actress.
Best Actor: Drama
It’s between Sean Penn and Mickey Rourke. Smart money’s on Penn, but I have a feeling that Rourke will get the Globe and Penn will get the Oscar.
Best Actress: Drama
I feel bad. Winslet’s been here five times before (numbers six AND seven tonight – and five winless Oscar nods to boot). Still, the edge goes to Hathaway.
Best Picture: Drama
Slumdog. Good night, folks.
[...] For the record, I shot 67% for the categories I bothered to make predictions for in the Golden Globes. About average for me. Kate Winslet, thankfully, threw me for a loop. [...]
