The awards season is already underway, yet no one has a clear picture of which film will take home the grand prize on Oscar night. And while the 68th Golden Globes are this Sunday, you can expect that picture to retain its blurriness.
Although the winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture won a Golden Globe for Best Film for eight straight years from 1996 to 2003, the recent trend is that five of the last six Oscar winners for Best Picture did not pick up a win in either Best Film category at the Golden Globes.
A big reason for this discrepancy is that the Golden Globes are voted on by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which you can guess is comprised of foreign press commenting on American TV and film. In contrast, the Oscars are presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, a group composed of more than 6,000 film professionals.
It is no surprise that journalists and film professionals would view movies through different perspectives. It seems at times as though the Oscar winners are chosen more conscientiously than the Golden Globe winners. A perfect example can be found from last year. The Golden Globe for Best Film — Drama went to “Avatar,” while the Oscar went to “The Hurt Locker,” a film with much less glitz and box office draw.
It doesn’t help that the Golden Globe nominations come out before all the films of the year are done. The nominations this year came out before “Tron: Legacy,” “The Tempest” or “True Grit,” all of which could pull awards, especially the last one.
So, why bother with the Globes? Really, because they’re bringing back Ricky Gervais as the host. And he’s probably the best thing to happen to the Globes, adding a great sense of levity, humor and ballsiness to the proceedings. Not everyone can get away with calling Mel Gibson an alcoholic.
And it’s pretty big for the fashion scene, if that’s the sort of thing you’re interested in.
So, the Globes have made at least one good decision in the past seven years. They’ll be good to watch for a laugh and maybe discovering films and shows you’ve never heard of. And, who knows? Maybe the Globes will make a turn back toward the better and actually mean something again.

Best Picture – Drama
Will: “Inception”
Should: “Inception”
This is an insanely tough call. Really, all these movies have a good shot at it, and only “The Fighter” really stands out as the weakest link. But “Inception” is one of the most original, spectacular films of the year, and will probably grab the award for its amazing impact.
Best Picture – Comedy or Musical
Will: “The Kids Are All Right”
Should: “The Kids Are All Right”
Okay, this category is just pathetic this year. “The Kids Are All Right” is the only movie that, in my mind, could even come close to winning the award out of these choices. Frankly, I would love to see “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” up there instead of “The Tourist” or “Alice in Wonderland.” And, in my mind, “Scott Pilgrim” would deserve the win.
Best Actor, Film – Drama
Will: Colin Firth, “The King’s Speech”
Should: Jesse Eisenberg, “The Social Network”
Personally, I loved Jesse Eisenberg in “The Social Network.” He was fantastic. But “The King’s Speech” seems poised to grab a huge amount of awards, if not here than at the Oscars for sure. Colin Firth edges out the competitors here, but just barely.
Best Actress, Film – Drama
Will: Natalie Portman, “Black Swan”
Should: Natalie Portman, “Black Swan”
Talk about a stand out performance. While all of these actresses do well in their films, and some amazingly so, Natalie Portman is almost certainly the clear-cut winner. It’s hard to imagine anyone else winning this.
Best Actor, Film – Comedy or Musical
Will: Jake Gyllenhaal, “Love And Other Drugs”
Should: Jake Gyllenhaal, “Love And Other Drugs”
This one is a little blah for me again. Johnny Depp is my favorite actor, but his two films weren’t really that special. Entertaining, perhaps, but not grand. Again, I’d rather see Michael Cera for “Scott Pilgrim,” but I think Jake Gyllenhaal has the win out of these nominations.
Best Actress, Film – Comedy or Musical
Will: Annette Bening, “The Kids Are All Right”
Should: Annette Bening, “The Kids Are All Right”
This one is a bit tougher. Two stand up performances in “The Kids Are All Right,” and Anne Hathaway and Emma Stone hold their own as well. But I think Annette Bening really has this one down, and it’s well deserved.
Best Supporting Actor, Film
Will: Geoffrey Rush, “The King’s Speech”
Should: Andrew Garfield, “The Social Network”
I’m admittedly a bit disappointed that Justin Timberlake isn’t on this list for “The Social Network,” as his performance was spectacular. Andrew Garfield was pretty amazing as well. But, I can only say it so many times, Geoffrey Rush will probably grab this award for “The King’s Speech.”
Best Supporting Actress, Film
Will: Helena Bonham Carter, “The King’s Speech”
Should: Helena Bonham Carter, “The King’s Speech”
Another pretty close one, particularly between Mila Kunis and Helena Bonham Carter, in my mind. But, again, “The King’s Speech” has a strong chance to take it all home, so to Helena Bonham Carter it goes.
Best Animated Feature Film
Will: “Toy Story 3”
Should: “Toy Story 3”
Entertaining, good, fun films all around this year. But “Toy Story 3” is getting talks of an Oscar Best Picture nomination. It is the end of an era, and an amazing one at that. There’s no real question for me here.
Best Director, Film
Will: David Fincher, “The Social Network”
Should: David Fincher, “The Social Network”
Again, all amazing films. And I might get hanged for not saying Christopher Nolan, because his direction was immensely spectacular in “Inception.” But David Fincher’s work in “The Social Network” steals the show for me. He made Facebook into an entertaining movie. A fantastic movie, at that.
Best Screenplay, Film
Will: Christopher Nolan, “Inception”
Should: Christopher Nolan, “Inception”
Now, this is where Christopher Nolan gets his glory. Working on the screenplay for at least a decade for one of the most original stories this century, Nolan just doesn’t seem like he could lose this award if he tried.
Best TV Series – Drama
Will: “Mad Men”
Should: “The Walking Dead”
The Golden Globes loves “Mad Men.” It’s won the past three years straight, while my favorite TV show, “House, M.D.” has never once won and isn’t even nominated anymore. So, “Mad Men” is probably a winner. But, honestly, I think “The Walking Dead” should get it. It’s maybe not terribly innovative, but it’s definitely new for TV, and what’s more, it’s good. Good zombie TV is definitely something I’d not mind watching or winning.
Best TV Series – Comedy Or Musical
Will: “Modern Family”
Should: “The Big Bang Theory”
The Globes aren’t as crazy as the Emmys are about handing the award to the same thing over and over again, and while “30 Rock” is a great show (and some will say “Glee” is as well), “Modern Family” has stepped into the limelight as a big contender. However, I personally would like to see “The Big Bang Theory” take the award. I think any show that can make advanced physics funny for everyone deserves some kudos.
Best Actor, TV Series – Drama
Will: Bryan Cranston, “Breaking Bad”
Should: Bryan Cranston, “Breaking Bad”
I would love to see Hugh Laurie win his third Globe, because he’s an amazing actor. And I wouldn’t be surprised to see Jon Hamm take his second. But Bryan Cranston is another one of those multi-nominated, waiting and deserving actors that might just grab this Globe, even though he does have three Emmys.
Best Actress, TV Series – Drama
Will: Elisabeth Moss, “Mad Men”
Should: Elisabeth Moss, “Mad Men”
This one I’m a bit shaky on, but I know “Mad Men” is rather popular, and it isn’t just the writing. What’s more, only one actor from the show has taken the Globe home. Maybe it’s time for Elizabeth Moss to get some glory.
Best Actor, TV Series – Comedy Or Musical
Will: Jim Parsons, “The Big Bang Theory”
Should: Jim Parsons, “The Big Bang Theory”
He took last year’s Emmy away from Alec Baldwin’s stronghold in what was perhaps a surprise to many people. I think Jim Parsons, one of the biggest reasons “The Big Bang Theory” is as hilarious as it is, may do it to Baldwin’s Globe stronghold as well.
Best Actress, TV Series – Comedy Or Musical
Will: Tina Fey, “30 Rock”
Should: Tina Fey, “30 Rock”
Tina Fey is, quite frankly, a comedy genius. There’s a reason she’s the youngest recipient of the Mark Twain Prize. Her writing is phenomenal, and her character on “30 Rock” is spectacular. I think she has a good shot at her third Globe.

Best Picture – Drama
Will: “The Social Network”
Should: “The Social Network”
Hailed as a masterpiece and a testament to its era, David Fincher’s “The Social Network” will most likely nab the top prize at the Globes this year, and for good reason. The film features a number of excellent performances and a flawless screenplay courtesy of Aaron Sorkin. In detailing the advent of a new way people can stay in touch, the film inversely shows us how success can tear us apart from those who are closest to us, as brilliantly acted out by Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield. If this potential win serves as any indication, “The Social Network” might take top honors at the Oscars as well.
Best Picture – Comedy or Musical
Will: “The Kids Are All Right”
Should: “Alice In Wonderland”
Featuring lead performances from critical darlings Annette Bening and Julianne Moore as partners in a same sex marriage and Mark Ruffalo as their family’s sperm donor, “The Kids Are All Right” is sure to win based on its acting chops and witty script. Other than that film, the nominees in this category were pretty poorly chosen this year, including the Christina Aguilara vehicle “Burlesque” and the universally panned “The Tourist” (which I’m not sure even qualifies as a comedy or a musical). If I had to pick another nominee I’d say “Alice in Wonderland,” even though it was kind of spotty despite Helena Bonham Carter’s entertaining performance. What should win is Jay Roach’s hilarious “Dinner for Schmucks,” which for some inexplicable reason got snubbed this year.
Best Actor, Film – Drama
Will: James Franco, “127 Hours”
Should: Jesse Eisenberg, “The Social Network”
Much was said last year about James Franco’s performance as Aron Ralston in “127 Hours,” especially a controversial scene in which he is forced to cut his own arm off. While some fainted or had to be taken to the hospital, those who made it through the film found that it was quite inspirational, thanks in large part to Franco’s performance. However, the top honor should go to Jesse Eisenberg for his complex and relentlessly interesting portrayal of Facebook creator Mark Zuckerburg. He plays Zuckerberg as prickly and almost unlikable but in a way that never comprises the character’s genius. He seems like he would be able to create such a defining aspect of our times and that is the highest praise you could give for his acting.
Best Actress, Film – Drama
Will: Natalie Portman, “Black Swan”
Should: Jennifer Lawrence, “Winter’s Bone”
“Black Swan” has been described as a hallucinatory nightmare of obsessive determination buoyed by a compelling performance by Natalie Portman. Her formidable acting chops coupled with the grace required to play ballet dancer Nina should ensure her the Globe, but I think it should go to Jennifer Lawrence. Her performance as Ozark teen, Ree Dolly, who is struggling to keep her family from becoming homeless is as intriguing as it is heartbreaking. It heralds the arrival of a new talent that has come fully formed and is able to carry as lofty a film as “Winter’s Bone.”
Best Actor, Film – Comedy or Musical
Will: Johnny Depp, “Alice in Wonderland”
Should: Kevin Spacey, “Casino Jack”
It seems like everyone just can’t get enough of seeing Johnny Depp dress up in a crazy outfit and act like someone whacked out of their skull on speed. Once again, here he is being exceedingly zany and honestly kind of annoying. He does have charisma and this eccentricity has served him well in the past, especially in the other films he’s done with Tim Burton (i.e. “Ed Wood,” “Edward Scissorhands”), but it’s getting kind of grating at this point. The award should go to Kevin Spacey, though. His performance as D.C. lobbyist Jack Abramoff in “Casino Jack” balances the contradictory nature of the character with good humor in a way that would do the late director of the film, George Hickenlooper, proud.
Best Actress, Film – Comedy or Musical
Will: Julianne Moore, “The Kids Are All Right”
Should: Julianne Moore, “The Kids Are All Right”
While Annette Bening is just as likely to win in this category, it will probably be Julianne Moore who snags the award because of her scenes and relationship with Mark Ruffalo in the movie. Both actresses create real people in their performances and both deserve accolades.
Best Supporting Actor, Film
Will: Michael Douglas, “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps”
Should: Christian Bale, “The Fighter”
Michael Douglas has had a rough year after battling throat cancer, which is thankfully in remission. I would imagine that this coupled with the fact that he is the only interesting part of the new “Wall Street” would be enough to get him the Golden Globe. This is unfair though, because the best performance of this year in perhaps any category would have to go to Christian Bale for his incredible work as Mickey Ward’s trainer and crack addicted half-brother, Dickey. Adopting a Bostonian accent and losing a massive amount of weight to give himself the appearance of an addict, Bale completely inhabits the role of Dicky and our eyes are drawn to him every moment he is on the screen. He provides a good deal of the film’s much-needed comic relief while also offering a harsh yet compassionate view into the troubled former boxer’s life. It’s a performance that merits multiple viewings and is the best work of his career. It seems pretty obvious to me that he’s going to win the Supporting Actor Oscar, just like his Dark Knight co-star Heath Ledger did.
Best Supporting Actress, Film
Will: Amy Adams, “The Fighter”
Should: Melissa Leo, “The Fighter”
In David O. Russell’s fantastic “The Fighter,” the very familiar plot is elevated to moving drama by its group of amazing actors giving their characters tremendous depth. Amy Adams gives a tough and genuine performance as the titular fighter’s girlfriend Charlene, refusing to let Micky’s family get in the way of his one shot at greatness. It is Melissa Leo’s performance as Micky’s mother that should win, if only by a slight margin. Her performance simultaneously elicits frustration from her over-domineering nature and sympathy for her genuine love for both of her sons. It is a performance to be appreciated as a lesser actress could have made the character completely unlikable.
Best Animated Feature Film
Will: “Toy Story 3”
Should: “Toy Story 3”
Maybe the best film of the year as well, Toy Story 3 is beautifully sentimental while remaining absolutely hilarious. The story is exceedingly brilliant in that it continues the trilogy with a batch of new characters while retaining the theme of familial bonding that made the first two so great. The voice acting is also exceptional. While I’ve heard Tangled is good, none of the other nominees even come close to topping this one.
Best Director, Film
Will: Darren Aronofsky, “Black Swan” or Christopher Nolan, “Inception”
Should: David O. Russell, “The Fighter”
Darren Aronofsky will probably win because of his long acclaimed inventive visual style and relentless intensity. While he can sometimes be a little heavy-handed with his drama, he has never let it get the best of him and his best work (the underrated “The Fountain” and the amazing “The Wrestler”) reflects that. Christopher Nolan, who directs the very good “Inception,” should also be recognized for his outstanding work. Also displaying a signature style to all of his films, Nolan has been extremely consistent in his output from the beginning, adding a new level of complexity and depth to blockbuster popcorn films (i.e. “The Dark Knight”). The winner should be David O. Russell, though. His direction takes a done-to-death genre and revitalizes it. It’s a movie that great almost despite itself, one that you can’t help getting emotionally involved in even if you know what the outcome is going to be. It’s a testament to the great performances but also to Russell’s understanding of what makes the inspirational sports movie work, and that’s what makes the film better than Ron Howard’s “Cinderella Man.” In fact, it stands alongside Clint Eastwood’s “Million Dollar Baby” as the best sports movie of the 2000s.
Best Screenplay, Film
Will: Aaron Sorkin, “The Social Network”
Should: Aaron Sorkin, “The Social Network”
A shoe-in if there ever was one, Sorkin’s ingenious script is absolutely perfect. It balances its characters just enough to reveal every essential piece of information about them all while remaining hilarious, tragic, insightful and supremely dramatic. Aaron Sorkin, whose previous work can be seen on shows like “The West Wing,” ascends to the pantheon of great Hollywood screenwriters with his work here demonstrating a talent for pacing and character development that is unrivaled by any other film last year. His work is almost on a par with Paddy Chayefsky’s classic script for 1976’s “Network” in its critique of business ethics and loyalty. This one will for sure win the Oscar as well.
Best TV Series – Drama
Will: “Boardwalk Empire”
Should: “Boardwalk Empire”
Created by former Sopranos scribe Terrence Winter, “Boardwalk Empire” is yet another complete success for HBO. Its depiction of 1920’s era Prohibition in Atlantic City is bleak yet remarkably entertaining thanks in no small part to its great characters and the actors who play them. The premiere episode (which was directed by none other than Martin Scorsese) debuted with extremely high ratings and universal acclaim and it is easy to see why. Filled to the brim with exceptional dialogue and story developments, the show didn’t let up for its entire first season, remaining interesting and compelling until its shocking conclusion. With most of us foaming at the mouth waiting for the next season, there is little dispute this show will walk home with the Globe.
Best TV Series – Comedy Or Musical
Will: “Nurse Jackie”
Should: “30 Rock”
Though I haven’t seen it, I’ve seen many accolades for “Nurse Jackie” so I figure it will win. Plus, it stars the always-great Edie Falco. However, it should go to the consistently hilarious and great “30 Rock” simply because it’s one of the funniest shows of the 2000’s. This last season has been particularly funny too with Tina Fey proving that she’s one of the funniest comedy writers working today. I just got into this show this year and it has ruled my life since then. With its great characters and excellent writing, “30 Rock” is the best NBC comedy since “The Office.” It’s infinitely funnier than her work on “SNL,” upon which “30 Rock” is actually based.
Best Actor, TV Series – Drama
Will: Steve Buscemi, “Boardwalk Empire”
Should: Steve Buscemi, “Boardwalk Empire”
It might just be because he’s the star of the show, but Buscemi is indeed fantastic as the crooked political figure with a strong sense of morality, Nucky Thompson, on “Boardwalk Empire.” While Bryan Cranston is incredible as Walt on “Breaking Bad,” it’s just high time Buscemi got some more of the recognition he so rightfully deserves and finally received a Golden Globe. Also, while Hugh Laurie is a good actor, I don’t really get why everyone loves “House” so much.
Best Actress, TV Series – Drama
Will: Elisabeth Moss, “Mad Men”
Should: Elisabeth Moss, “Mad Men”
I have no opinion, as I have never seen “The Good Wife,” “Covert Affairs,” “Sons of Anarchy” or “The Closer.” I have seen “Mad Men,” but I didn’t watch any of this season. For that reason, I guess I’ll give it to Elisabeth Moss on “Mad Men.”
Best Actor, TV Series – Comedy Or Musical
Will: Steve Carell, “The Office”
Should: Steve Carell, “The Office” or Alec Baldwin, “30 Rock”
I was torn in deciding who was funnier last year and I can’t make a decision. The award will probably go to Steve Carell and that’s probably for the best as this last season was supposedly his last with the show. It’s a tragedy if he’s really leaving, because along with Homer Simpson and George Costanza from “Seinfeld,” Michael Scott was one of the funniest TV characters ever and this last season continued to prove that. However, Alec Baldwin has proven his knack for comedy and then some as the controlling yet compassionate Jack Donaghy on “30 Rock.” In my opinion, he’s probably the funniest part of the show and, like Carell on “The Office,” has provided its most memorable quotes. Maybe Baldwin should get it over Carell and instill a Brett Favre-style desire in him to go out on top thus forcing him to stay on just one more season. We can only hope.
Best Actress, TV Series – Comedy Or Musical
Will: Edie Falco, “Nurse Jackie”
Should: Tina Fey, “30 Rock”
Again, Falco’s probably going to win. But, Tina Fey should win this category as well because her acting, it turns out, is just as funny as her writing. Her portrayal of Liz Lemon (a version of herself) is hilarious in how she shows how she is the anchor of sanity to all overbearing personalities she deals with as well as a comically flawed and insecure person herself with a proclivity towards junk food. Her sharp wit is what keeps the show fresh as she holds her own against the other outrageous cast members.

Best Picture – Drama
Will: “The King’s Speech”
Should: “Inception”
Although “The Social Network” has garnered much critical acclaim to this point, many of the guilds have thrown support to “The King’s Speech.” Also, “The Social Network” is at its essence an American film, and the HFPA typically rewards films that are more global in feel. For my money, though, “Inception” is the only movie in this category that thrills audiences both viscerally and intellectually.
Best Picture – Comedy or Musical
Will: “The Kids Are All Right”
Should: “The Kids Are All Right”
What a terrible category. “The Kids Are All Right” is the one film here that is really good. “Red” was a fun film and the rest are forgettable. I know the genre of “Scott Pilgrim” may alienate viewers, but that should be no reason to exclude it. Plus, I haven’t laughed that hard in the theatre for quite some time.
Best Actor, Film – Drama
Will: Colin Firth, “The King’s Speech”
Should: Colin Firth, “The King’s Speech”
Although Franco and Eisenberg give terrific performances, Colin Firth deserves this. Some might say that the role offers him a greater chance to showcase his abilities (his character has a stammer). However, speech impediments are always tricky for an actor; Firth pulls it off well.
Best Actress, Film – Drama
Will: Natalie Portman, “Black Swan”
Should: Michelle Williams, “Blue Valentine”
Natalie Portman has a ton of momentum right now. Plus, she has won a Golden Globe before. I think the tone of “Blue Valentine” might scare off many voters, but that does not mean that the performance Michelle Williams gives is any less deserving.
Best Actor, Film – Comedy or Musical
Will: Kevin Spacey, “Casino Jack”
Should: Kevin Spacey, “Casino Jack”
Kevin Spacey is golden as Jack Abramoff, although the film as a whole doesn’t have near the support his performance does. Johnny Depp getting nominated twice tells me all I need to know about this category.
Best Actress, Film – Comedy or Musical
Will: Annette Bening, “The Kids Are All Right”
Should: Annette Bening, “The Kids Are All Right”
Both Moore and Bening get the recognition they deserve here, but there can be only one winner. Although they could win up splitting votes, Bening was getting all the early acclaim. I think that is enough to carry her to victory.
Best Supporting Actor, Film
Will: Geoffrey Rush, “The King’s Speech”
Should: Jeremy Renner, “The Town”
Geoffrey Rush gets my prediction here, but if either Bale or Renner wins instead, I won’t complain. I think all three give some of the best performances of the year. I give him the nod since I predict “The King’s Speech” to have the night’s momentum.
Best Supporting Actress, Film
Will: Helena Bonham Carter, “The King’s Speech”
Should: Helena Bonham Carter, “The King’s Speech”
Anybody who has seen the “The Fighter” should find no issue with these two performances. The problem is that both ladies are really good, so splitting votes may again be an issue. So, give me Helena Bonham Carter, whose performance is equally deserving and in a film that the HFPA is more likely to embrace.
Best Animated Feature Film
Will: “Toy Story 3”
Should: “Toy Story 3”
Although “How To Train Your Dragon” and “Tangled” are some of the better animated efforts put forth in the last few years, “Toy Story 3” is one of the best. The series is so beloved, and I think that always plays a part in the mindset of voters.
Best Director, Film
Will: David Fincher, “The Social Network”
Should: Christopher Nolan, “Inception”
Christopher Nolan’s vision is second-to-none. I think the HFPA awards “The Social Network” here with Best Director, though. Fincher turns something mundane into the utterly fascinating.
Best Screenplay, Film
Will: Christopher Nolan, “Inception”
Should: Christopher Nolan, “Inception”
I think Nolan spent a decade working on this script. If so, enough said. If I am being serious, though, “Inception” should take it because of the reason mentioned above: it hits audiences both viscerally and intellectually.
Best TV Series – Drama
Will: “Mad Men”
Should: “Mad Men”
“Mad Men” is an unstoppable force, as it should be. It’s good TV. “The Walking Dead” is a fresh offering in the genre that has found appeal even from those who don’t usually enjoy zombies. However, AMC’s freshman drama does not yet have the foundation of “Mad Men.”
Best TV Series – Comedy Or Musical
Will: “Modern Family”
Should: “Modern Family”
“Modern Family” is one of the funniest shows I’ve seen on TV. Period. Although “Glee” and “Nurse Jackie” are good, they do not produce the laughs that “Modern Family” does.
Best Actor, TV Series – Drama
Will: Bryan Cranston, “Breaking Bad”
Should: Bryan Cranston, “Breaking Bad”
Every single one of these nominees does a phenomenal job. And I am tempted to believe that people are tired of Bryan Cranston winning awards. But the man deserves it. Although the show itself is not even my favorite AMC drama, I am speechless every time he is on-screen.
Best Actress, TV Series – Drama
Will: Julianna Margulies, “The Good Wife”
Should: Katey Sagal, “Sons of Anarchy”
I do not regularly watch “Sons Of Anarchy,” but every time I have tuned in, I am completely drawn in to Katey Sagal’s performance. That said, Julianna Margulies won last year and from what I can tell has done nothing to give up that title for this ceremony.
Best Actor, TV Series – Comedy Or Musical
Will: Thomas Jane, “Hung”
Should: Alec Baldwin, “30 Rock”
No real reason for these picks for me. I got nothing.
Best Actress, TV Series – Comedy Or Musical
Will: Edie Falco, “Nurse Jackie”
Should: Edie Falco, “Nurse Jackie”
Edie Falco excels in this show. These other four give good performances, but none feel more at home in a series than Falco.
