Golden Globe Nominations

So earlier today, the nominations for this year's Golden Globes were announced. Most of the nominees had people going, "WTF????" (me included) Anyway, here they are. Underlined means my pick for the winner:

BEST MOTION PICTURE - DRAMA
Black Swan
The Fighter
Inception
The King's Speech
The Social Network

Considering it's taking the critic choice awards by storm, it's no doubt in my mind that The Social Network will win.


Runner-up: Inception


BEST MOTION PICTURE - COMEDY/MUSICAL
Alice in Wonderland
Burlesque
The Kids Are All Right
Red
The Tourist

Is there really any competition here? Um, since The Kids Are All Right is probably the only one in this category that didn't get a "Rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes, that's the one that's gonna win.


Runner-up: Uh, there is none. Trust me.

BEST ACTOR - DRAMA
Jesse Eisenberg, The Social Network
Colin Firth, The King's Speech
James Franco, 127 Hours
Ryan Gosling, Blue Valentine
Mark Wahlberg, The Fighter

Tough call for this year. Lot of solid performances from what I've heard. Gunning for Eisenberg though.

Runner-up: James Franco

BEST ACTRESS - DRAMA
Halle Berry, Frankie and Alice
Nicole Kidman, Rabbit Hole
Jennifer Lawrence, Winter's Bone
Natalie Portman, Black Swan
Michelle Williams, Blue Valentine


I'm going with everyone else and say that Portman will win.

Runner-up: Jennifer Lawrence

BEST ACTOR - COMEDY/MUSICAL
Johnny Depp, Alice in Wonderland
Johnny Depp, The Tourist
Paul Giamatti, Barney's Version
Jake Gyllenhaal, Love and Other Drugs
Kevin Spacey, Casino Jack


Johnny, I love ya. But why did you get nominated for two crappy movies? Because of that, I'm going for the other hottie on the list, Jake Gyllenhaal.

Runner-up: Paul Giamatti

BEST ACTRESS - COMEDY/MUSICAL
Annette Bening, The Kids Are All Right
Anne Hathaway, Love and Other Drugs
Angelina Jolie, The Tourist
Julianne Moore, The Kids Are All Right
Emma Stone, Easy A


Nice to see that Bening and Moore got nominated. They were both good, but I liked Moore, well, more.

Runner-up: Emma Stone

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Christian Bale, The Fighter
Michael Douglas, Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps
Andrew Garfield, The Social Network
Jeremy Renner, The Town
Geoffrey Rush, The King's Speech


YES! Jeremy Renner got a nod! No shit, really. He kicked ass. But no Mark Ruffalo? Oh well. But despite what I said, I'm going for Garfield. He had the best performance in The Social Network.

Runner-up: Jeremy Renner

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Amy Adams, The Fighter
Helena Bonham Carter, The King's Speech
Mila Kunis, Black Swan
Melissa Leo, The Fighter
Jacki Weaver, Animal Kingdom


Diverse list here. But since she's been getting all the accolades, my money's on Weaver.

Runner-up: Mila Kunis

BEST DIRECTOR
Darren Aronofsky, Black Swan
David Fincher, The Social Network
Tobe Hooper, The King's Speech
Christopher Nolan, Inception
David O. Russell, The Fighter


Damn, this one's hard. This one's anyone's guess, but I'm going for Aronofsky.

Runner-up: David Fincher

BEST SCREENPLAY
127 Hours
Inception
The Kids Are All Right
The King's Speech
The Social Network


You really gotta ask here? Well, yes since you have the most original screenplay in years (Inception) and the most clever screenplay in years (The Social Network). Going for the latter.

Runner-up: Inception

"You Haven't Seen The Last of Me", Burlesque
"Coming Home", Country Strong
"There's a Place for Us", The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Er, shot in the dark but I'm going for Country Strong.

Runner-up: Um, Tangled?

BEST SCORE
127 Hours
Alice in Wonderland
Inception
The King's Speech
The Social Network


No contest.

Runner-up: The Social Network


BEST ANIMATED FILM
Despicable Me
How to Train Your Dragon

Toy Story 3


Shouldn't we know by now that Pixar dominates this category every time?

Runner-up: How to Train Your Dragon


BEST FOREIGN FILM
Biutiful
The Concert
The Edge
I Am Love
In A Better World


You can't go wrong with a movie made by an acclaimed director featuring an Oscar winner, can you?

So those are my predictions. Let's see if any come true.
