It’s always both a thrill and a chore to predict the winners of the Golden Globe Awards. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is a tricky organization to predict and their voters could go either or. I would say this year is actually trickier than normal. The pandemic has hit the movie industry and the result, the award season is limping right along. Plus, there is really no clear cut frontrunner. Will the Hollywood Foreign Press Association continue to try to be the Oscar predictor and choose “Nomadland” or will it be a rebel and pick “Promising Young Woman” or “The Trial of the Chicago 7.” One thing’s for sure – I’m missing the inclusion of “Minari” as a solid contender and not just relegated to the foreign film competition. Since it’s a trickier Globes this year, I grouped my predictions with either “will win” or “may win” and if I’m really sure, I even added “should win.”

We’ll find out the winners this Sunday at 5 pm Pacific with the live broadcast of the 78^th Golden Globes on NBC with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosting (I’m excited for that!). Also, follow me on my Facebook page as we slice and dice the Golden Globes live (for more of my Golden Globes coverage, click here).
