Tim's 2014 Golden Globe Awards Picks

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.
