The Golden Globes return this Tuesday, and we have our picks for who will win the coveted award.
The Hollywood Foreign Press is at a strange time. Infamous for being the Oscars’ more chaotic and embarrassing younger sibling, the HFPA has faced a myriad of controversies throughout its 80-year-old history. From ethical dilemmas, bribery scandals, accusations of lack of Black representation in its voting body, and sexual harassment claims, the HFPA is no stranger to scandal.
In Best Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, it’s a battle of banshees and multiversal beings. It might seem like the phenomenon that is Everything Everywhere All at Once has an easy path to victory, but it might have met its match in Martin McDonagh’s tragicomedy The Banshees of Inisherin. Everything Everywhere remains the favorite, but Banshees keeps picking up momentum, collecting critics’ awards left and right and cementing itself as a dark horse.
But it’s reckless to discount Brendan Fraser, especially because he has the best narrative out of any nominee this year. Considering his story with the organization, not rewarding him might be an awful look for the HFPA, and god knows they can’t deal with another scandal. So I’m sticking with Fraser all the way to the Oscars, not only because his work in The Whale is a masterclass, but because he is the embodiment of “it’s about damn time.
Golden Globe TV predictions Over on the television side, Best Drama Series is up for grabs. Apple TV+’s Severance seems like a very HFPA choice, especially because they might save The Crown‘s big wins for its sixth and final season. There’s also the HBO phenomenon House of the Dragon, but the World of Ice and Fire has never connected with the HFPA or SAG, and there’s no reason to believe it might be different this time.
The supporting performances are chaotic, as per usual. Combining Comedy and Drama means you have categories with actors from Hacks and Ozark competing against each other. Best Supporting Actor will likely go to Severance‘s John Turturro, but Jonathan Pryce might surprise, even if his Prince Philip isn’t exactly the best.
Things also bode well for Dahmer‘s lead, Evan Peters, who will probably win the Best Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Television Film Globe for his admittedly chilling performance. I’m torn between my desire to see Peters recognized and the fact it’s for such an egregious project, especially when Black Bird‘s Taron Egerton might be an arguably worthier winner. As for Best Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Television Film, Amanda Seyfried has it in the bag for The Dropout.
