The 2021 Award Season is here! While it may feel strange to be celebrating awards in the middle of a pandemic, this altered version of the award show must go on! Tina Fey and Amy Poehler return to host the 78th Annual Golden Globes LIVE from opposite coasts Tina in NYC and Amy at the Beverly Hilton. Tina and Amy are two of my favorite hosts and I can't wait to see what they have in store!
Much like the 2020 Emmy's, winners and nominees will not be in attendance at the show and there will not be a red carpet. I almost didn't bother making my predictions for this year's show, but I need some sense of normalcy right now so I decided to continue with the tradition of making my predictions. I always feel like the Golden Globes are the hardest to predict because the Hollywood Foreign Press likes to throw us curveballs every year. With that being said, here are my picks for this year's Golden Globes.
Best Motion Picture — Drama
"Nomadland"
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture — Drama
Carey Mulligan, "Promising Young Woman"
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture — Drama
Riz Ahmed, "Sound of Metal"
Don't count out Chadwick Boseman for a posthumous win, but I think Riz has a lot of the hype behind him and the HFPA loves Amazon.
