One of my favorite things about making my annual picks are the hours spent watching screeners and going to the theatre to make sure I see every film and TV show nominated for an award.
Congratulations to all of the nominees this year. It's always hard to pick against some of my favorite actors and actresses, as well as favorite films and TV shows, but it had to be done. All of that being said, here are my picks for the 2016 73rd Annual Golden Globe Awards.
Best Picture, Drama
Spotlight
(I was absolutely torn on this category between Spotlight and Mad Max. If Spotlight doesn't win, it will go to Mad Max)

Best Picture, Comedy or Musical
The Big Short
Best Director
Ridley Scott, The Martian
(Another tough pick for me. This could very easily go to George Miller for Mad Max, but I really feel that this is Ridley Scott's year)

Best Actor, Drama
Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant
Best Actress, Drama
Brie Larson, Room

Best Actress, Comedy
Amy Schumer, Trainwreck
(This has been the year of Schumer! I think Amy Schumer has this one in the bag. I couldn't be happier to see Schumer getting more and more recognition for her incredible talent.)

Best Supporting Actress
Jennifer Jason Leigh, The Hateful Eight
(Don't count out Alicia Vikander for Ex-Machina. She's absolutely brilliant in this film as well as The Danish Girl. Alicia Vikander is going to become more and more of a household name and very easily could take home the Golden Globe tonight)

Best Screenplay
Charles Randolph and Adam McKay, The Big Short
(Tough choice against a few of the other films, especially The Hateful Eight. The Oscars will make this category a little easier to pick when the screenplays are separated by Adapted and Original. For the Globes, this goes to The Big Short.)

Best TV Miniseries or Movie
Fargo
Best Actor, Drama
Rami Malek, Mr. Robot
(I wouldn't be surprised to see this go to Jon Hamm, but the Golden Globes enjoy young, new talent, and Rami Malek is everything they love.)
