The Golden Globes

[Mylie]

The Golden Globes are happening this sunday (tomorrow) so I thought it might be fun to discuss the nominations and predict winners!

I haven't seen all the movies nominated, but I'll try to watch as much as I can this weekend. How about everyone else? Have you seen the movies nominated? Which ones are you rooting for? Which ones do you think will win? Same for television award!

 

[nightshade]

I'm going to guess that I've not seen any of them,but I haven't seen the list either, so I may have, highly unlikely, but I might have.

What do the golden globes award? Is it just movies or all actors and directors and all those other bits? What tv shows are in it?

Oh, you made me realize that I forgot to post the list to the nominees : Winners & Nominees 2020

Best Motion Picture - Drama
I haven't seen Joker yet but I plan to, same with Marriage Story and 1917. Right now, I can't say which I want winning as I haven't seen any of them.

Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy
Argh, I still have to watch 3 of them, but I thought Rocketman was so brilliant and filmed in such a unique way for a music biopic. I wouldn't mind it winning, tbh.

Best Director
Quentin Tarantino. All the way (even if I have yet to see the film he's nominated for) 😛

Best Motion Picture - Animated
Gonna have to go with Toy Story 4.

Those are the only categories where I'm even remotely familiar with the nominated films or TV shows, whoops 😀

The people I want to win awards shows rarely do. Anyway, I'm hoping that the following win...

Saoirse Ronan for Best Actress drama movie
Kaitlyn Dever for best actress limited series
Unbelievable for limited series
Beanie Feldstein for Best Actress comedy movie

Marriage Story and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood are my two favourites. Really great movies with an amazing collection of people.

I was planning to see Jo Jo Rabbit. Don't know what I haven't yet. I want to see Stephen Merchant as a gestapo agent.

 

[HowiMetdaSlayer]

Wasn't overjoyed with Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. 😳

 

[DeadlyDuo]

Ricky Gervais should be a laugh as host.

 

[ILLYRIAN]

I couldn't remember why I could never be bothered with the Golden Globe Award, you guys have reminded me, thanks. I see it as more important for me to cut the grass with a pair of scissors.

 

[HowiMetdaSlayer]

If watching the Globes is that bad, than watching the Oscars must be like torture. 😉

Not a good trend. 😒

 

[WillowFromBuffy]

This guy was rooting for Greta Gerwig and Emma Watson. He may now eat the Hollywood Foreign Press.

 

[HowiMetdaSlayer]

Think both Gerwig & Wilde should've been nominated! 😕

 

[Mr Trick]

Think both Gerwig & Wilde should've been nominated! 😕

Its telling their films get other nominations but the directors themselves don't get recognized. Stuff like this is just another reason why modern TV is kicking modern film's butt!

 

[RachM]

I have to say, given the extreme over-hype of Little Women and Greta Gerwig, I was really surprised that she didn't get a Best Direction nomination, especially given her previous wins for Lady Bird.

Golden Globes: The winners in full

Well none of the ones I saw won anything!

 

[Mr Trick]

Well I got 11 predictions right out of I don't know 18? So I'll take that!

Not too many surprises. I see the Awards are still digging the political War movie. I'll be amazed if 1917 is better than The Irishman. They always tend to give QT writing awards (probably his weakest area IMO).

The one nice surprise was Dern winning. Lets hope that translates into an Oscar (not sure it will the Lopez comeback story has Oscars written all over it). She should have won in 2007 for INLAND EMPIRE!
