Awards season is officially here! This is one of my favorite times of the year. There have been so many great films, incredible TV shows, and amazing acting performances this past year. I've been looking forward to the Golden Globes this year mainly to watch Tina Fey and Amy Pohler host the show again. They were absolutely brilliant last year!
Making my award show picks has started to become a tradition for my sites, so I knew we had to do it again this year. Without further adieu, here are my picks for the 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards.
Best Motion Picture, Drama
12 Years A Slave
Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama
Sandra Bullock, Gravity
Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama
Matthew McConaughey, Dallas Buyers Club
I could also see this go to Chiwetel Ejiofor for 12 Years A Slave, but I think McConaughey nailed it this year.
Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy
American Hustle
Sadly I haven't had a chance to see "Her" yet. I've heard a lot of great things about it, but I can't pick it without seeing it.
Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy
Amy Adams, American Hustle
Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy
Oscar Isaac, Inside Llweyn Davis
Tough category! Bale could easily win, and so could DiCaprio. However, I think Oscar Isaac was incredible in this film and he deserves the award.
Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture
Jared Leto, Dallas Buyers Club
Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture
Jennifer Lawrence, American Hustle
Best Animated Feature
Frozen
Best Foreign Language Film
Blue is the Warmest Color
Taking a stab in the dark here since this was the only film in this category that I was able to see.
Best Director, Motion Picture
Alfonso Cuaron, Gravity
Best Screenplay, Motion Picture
Spike Jonze, Her
Best Original Score, Motion Picture
Alex Ebert, All is Lost
Best Original Song, Motion Picture
Let It Go, Frozen
Best TV Series, Drama
Breaking Bad
Best Actress in a TV Series, Drama
Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife
Best Actor in a TV Series, Drama
Bryan Cranston, Breaking Bad
Best TV Series, Musical or Comedy
Modern Family
Brooklyn Nine-Nine, really? I like the show, but there are so many better shows that should have been nominated over Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
Best Actress in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Veep
Best Actor in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy
Jim Parsons, The Big Bang Theory
This category should have been a lot stronger than it was. All of them are great actors, but there were a lot of better performances than those that were nominated.
Best TV Movie or Mini-Series
Behind the Candelabra
Best Actress in a TV Movie or Mini-Series
Elisabeth Moss, Top of the Lake
Best Actor in a TV Movie or Mini-Series
Michael Douglas, Behind the Candelabra
Best Supporting Actress in a TV Movie or Mini-Series
Jacqueline Bissett
I honestly have no idea. The only one of these actress I have watched in the shows they are nominated for is Sofia Vergara, and it's not going to be her. I've heard buzz around Bissett, so that's why I've made the pick.
Best Supporting Actor in a TV Movie or Mini-Series
Aaron Paul, Breaking Bad
Well, there are my picks! Lets see how I do this year. I will have more picks later this week for the SAG Awards.
