Cinema Science

With all the crap going on with the strike I had completely forgot that the Golden Globes were tonight. But instead of three hours celebrating movies and television we get an hour long press conference and then two hours of American Gladiators. Since I can't offer up my predictions as to what Wolf and Venom will do tonight I can make a few guesses to what the winners at the Globes will be. To see the entire list of Nominations go over to the HFPA site.

Best Picture, Drama: “No Country for Old Men”
This film has won pretty much every other award up to this point and I don't think that will change tonight.

Best Comedy or Musical: “Juno”
Could go to Sweeney Todd but Juno seems to be the more loved of the duo. The success at the box office can't hurt either.

Best Actress, Drama: Julie Christie
Keira Knightley is the only one of the group who's movie I have seen. This is a complete guess but Christie has been the front runner so far.

Best Actor, Drama: Daniel Day Lewis
Best performance of the Decade. Draaaaaaiiiinnnnaaaaage! I just sent that in a text message. Clooney always gives the best speeches though.

Best Actress, Musical or Comedy: Ellen Page
Marion Cotillard could win here, just a guess it goes to Page.

Best Actor, Musical or Comedy: Johnny Depp
Probably a lock.

Best Actress, Supporting: Amy Ryan
I would go with Blanchett but Ryan is good too.

Best Actor, Supporing: Javier Bardem
Probably his fiercest competition, Hal Holbrook, isn't even nominated.

Best Animated: “Ratatouille”
Has to win.

Best Foreign: “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly”
Only one of the group I have seen.

Best Director: Joel and Ethan Coen
I really wanted to see what they said in their speech.

Best Screenplay: “No Country for Old Men”
Juno?

Best Soundtrack: “Atonement”
There Will Be Blood isn't even nominated? This deserves it though.

Best Song: “Guaranteed,” by Eddie Vedder
No song from Once? What is with the musical nominations?
