The Golden Globe Nominations 2019

You know me, we're only sticking with the film side because I truly could not tell you a thing about the television aspect besides "OMG Amy!" 

Best Original Song – Motion Picture
“All the Stars” (“Black Panther”)
“Girl in the Movies” (“Dumplin’”)
“Requiem For a Private War” (“A Private War”)
“Revelation’ (“Boy Erased”)

“Shallow” (“A Star Is Born”)

I've only heard of two of these songs, and I'm glad! I expected them to pick a Mary Poppins Returns song, glad they passed for some far less known fare.

PREDICTED WINNER: Shallow

Best Actress in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture
Amy Adams (“Vice”)
Claire Foy (“First Man”)
Regina King (“If Beale Street Could Talk”)
Emma Stone (“The Favourite”)
Rachel Weisz (“The Favourite”)

This is probably our lineup for the Oscars as well, give or take a lady from The Favourite. Regina King has been winning on the localized award circuits for her performance, it would certainly be nice to see either her or Amy win.

Annapurna's "Vice" was the big potential winner of the morning, netting more nominations than any other movie, including it's sister movies (Which received 3 and 1 nominations).

PREDICTED WINNER: No idea.

Best Motion Picture – Animated
“Incredibles 2”
“Isle of Dogs”
“Mirai”
“Ralph Breaks the Internet”
“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”

Oho! The Globes brought Mirai back from potential award irrelevance. Let's hope that Disney won't spend the money to push I2 or WIR 2 so it or Spider-Verse sneaks in the win.

PREDICTED WINNER: Probably a Disney movie.




Best Motion Picture – Foreign Language
“Capernaum”
“Girl”
“Never Look Away”
“Roma”
“Shoplifters”

We know how this is ending.

PREDICTED (PROBABLE) WINNER: Roma

Best Motion Picture – Drama
“Black Panther”
“BlacKkKlansman”
“Bohemian Rhapsody”
“If Beale Street Could Talk”
“A Star Is Born”

Why isn't "Bohemian Rhapsody" in best Musical? Was it not one? I didn't see it. But the argument could also be made for ASIB, which I did see, and which was very dramatic.

A MCU movie nominated for a Golden Globe! If the HFPA wasn't a joke, I'd consider that a real honor. I still do. And nice to see that BlackKklansman had enough juice to make it to award season.

It would be great to see "Beale Street" win, but since Hollywood loves patting themselves on the back....

PREDICTED WINNER: "A Star Is Born"

Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy
“Crazy Rich Asians”
“The Favourite”
“Green Book”
“Mary Poppins Returns”
“Vice”

What a weird category.

Very happy for CRA but what is so funny about GB? Ha ha, black man's narrative through the eyes of a white man, we're all rolling in the aisles!

PREDICTED WINNER: Probably anything but "Green Book" and, sadly, "Crazy Rich Asians". I can see it going to "The Favourite" or "Vice".

Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama
Glenn Close (“The Wife”)
Lady Gaga (“A Star Is Born”)
Nicole Kidman (“Destroyer”)
Melissa McCarthy (“Can You Ever Forgive Me?”)
Rosamund Pike (“A Private War”)

Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy
Emily Blunt (“Mary Poppins Returns”)
Olivia Colman (“The Favourite”)
Elsie Fisher (“Eighth Grade”)
Charlize Theron (“Tully”)
Constance Wu (“Crazy Rich Asians”)

I'm putting these two together for the reason that we can parse out the Oscar nominees very easily; Glenn, Gaga, Nicole, Melissa, and Emily. That is going to be the final Best Actress lineup and you can quote me on it.

I'm bummed that "Destroyer" is apparently so unremarkable that this is the only nom they have from it, but she's apparently a tour de force, so I'm more than okay with her eventual win.

But who expected "A Private War" to do anything but die quietly? Man, maybe this is a tough category.

PREDICTED WINNER:  ?????????? for Drama, Emily Blunt for Comedy.

The rest I don't feel that strongly about so this is all.
