Guessing the Globes
We predict 'The Artist' to come out tops in tomorrow's Golden Globe nods

We offered you a space to share your Screen Actors' Guild and Golden Globe predictions yesterday -- but since the majority of you had only SAG on the brain then, here's another chance for you to spitball the Globes list. They're always a fun lot predict, mostly because of the comedy/musical categories: even with a stronger field of industry favorites in the running this year, there's still plenty of room for them to throw in a star-baiting head-scratcher. Julia Roberts in "Larry Crowne?" Johnny Depp in "The Rum Diary?" Take your pick.
I've set the ball rolling with my own predictions across all their film categories. One doesn't need a crystal ball to tell that "The Artist" is set to have another strong morning: I'm expecting it to top the list with six nods, while the Best Drama category looks rather modest by comparison. Will "War Horse," "Hugo" and "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" bounce back after being totally blanked in today's SAG list? And why do I have a funny feeling that "Drive" could spring a surprise here? Take a look at my best guesses after the jump, and share yours in the comments.

December 14, 2011 at 5:14PM EST Reply to CommentI agree with all your predictions except Cameron Diaz in the atrocious Bad Teacher. I'll go for either Kate Winslet in Carnage or Julianne Moore in Crazy, Stupid, Love.
Frank Lee "Bad Teacher" was the only junky comedy I actually enjoyed this year, and I see a lot of them.
December 14, 2011 at 7:30PM ESTLaura Stewart I got to agree with Trex here, 'Bad Teacher' was very bad. I have a few friends who loved it and I just can't seem to get on board with it. I think it had a decent premise but it never followed through with it. Also, more Jason Segel!
December 14, 2011 at 7:35PM EST
Just saw Crazy Stupid Love - loved it... As much as I adore Julianne, I'd give the nod to Emma Stone. I can't think of another actress who could have pulled off her role, most especially holding her own opposite Gosling's charisma. Their chemistry reminded of Astaire and Rogers.

December 14, 2011 at 5:17PM EST Reply to CommentNice pics for Best Actor - Drama. Is this America's Next Top Model or the Golden Globes?
Guy Lodge Aren't the Globes always a bit of both?
December 14, 2011 at 5:20PM ESTLaura Stewart I like to think of it as a collection of People Mag's Sexiest Men Alive.

December 14, 2011 at 5:23PM EST Reply to CommentGreat picks, although I (unfortunately) believe that Johnny Depp could show up in Best Actor-Musical/Comedy for The Rum Diary...I mean, if they nominate him for The Tourist, they will certainly nominate him for this. Also think Owen Wilson could show up there for Midnight in Paris.
And I believe one of the supporting actresses will be knocked out for Sandra Bullock in Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close...the Globes love their stars and this seems like it could be an easy get for Bullock.

Joe7827 I forgot about Ides of March for "just missed". It wouldn't surprise me at all if the Globes jump-started an Ides revival with a whole slew of nominations. I'm just not up for predicting it.

December 14, 2011 at 6:08PM EST Reply to CommentLet me tell you why I love the Golden Globes. It's like the Oscars without the smug seriousness. Or the Oscars with a sense of humour. We all know they take bribes, people get drunk and nominate big names just because it makes them look good.
That being said, I'm betting both Kevin Spacey and Jennifer Aniston get nominations in the supporting categories for Horrible Bosses. Oh, and Robert Downey Jr repeats for Sherlock Holmes.

December 14, 2011 at 6:20PM EST Reply to CommentIt drives me nuts people predicting Jodie Foster/Kate Winslet for Carnage. I mean I know they love their stars and it's a weak year but they're campaigned in supporting? and there is zero agreement as to who is better//why would they single out and upgrade Jodie Foster? Carnage has no buzz either.
Grandma Bubbles oo I hope you're right about Kirsten Dunst though :D

December 14, 2011 at 6:25PM EST Reply to CommentWhy Gosling over Carell in "Crazy, Stupid, Love"? I know the former is the hot thing right now, but Carell is no slouch in the popularity department, either. And he's very much more the center of the film (though that could have little bearing on the outcome).

Jake D I'm particularly worried about Actress (Comedy/Musical). It could end up admirably offbeat...or really atrocious.
December 14, 2011 at 7:35PM ESTSurprised to see you're predicting War Horse for Picture/Director, Guy. Although I suppose it is something the Globes would go for...still...I tend to think it'll be roundly ignored when it comes down to it...we'll see!
Laura Stewart I agree with you. I think Williams and Theron are in for sure. Theron needs all the notice she can get at this point. I hope Close gets snubbed. Sorry, I'm still pissed off from Theron's SAG snub... still venting!
December 14, 2011 at 7:36PM ESTMykill I am so there with you about Close it's not even funny. I LOVE her work in films like World According to Garp, Dangerous Liaisons, Fatal Attraction, and even movies like Mars Attacks and 101 Dalmations - but Albert Nobbs just looks about as enjoyable as watching paint dry. So the idea of a performance in a film like that edging out someone like Theron or Olsen, is just unimaginable to me. I have a feeling that this year could provide some amount of disappointment unfortunately....

December 14, 2011 at 10:45PM EST Reply to CommentIf Gary Oldman doesn't show up even in the Globe nominations, I don't know what's going to happen to his Oscar chances. Already he has suffered the snubs of BFCA and SAG. Sure, the Brit voting bloc exists, but so does Fassy (surprising snub at SAG), and the Brits have backed him much more than Oldman, so far. And there's also a film called 'Tyrannosaur' which won Best Film at the British Independent Film Awards (Fassy also trumped Oldman at those awards as well).

December 14, 2011 at 10:47PM EST Reply to CommentI'm personally betting on Horrible Bosses getting nominated for Best Comedy, Best Actress (Jennifer Aniston) and Best Supporting Actor (Colin Farrell). Aniston as lead only because she's A-list and this is the Golden Globes we're talking about. Also, she was actually really funny in that so it wouldn't even be a starfucker nomination a la The Tourist last year.
So for Comedy I'm thinking The Artist, Bridesmaids, Horrible Bosses, Midnight in Paris and The Muppets. Seems like a good blend of Oscar contenders and successful mainstream humor.
For Best Actor in a Comedy I was thinking Carell (Crazy Stupid Love), Matt Damon (We Bought a Zoo), Dujardin, Giamatti and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (50/50). Though in all fairness I wouldn't be surprised if Johnny Depp popped up here for Pirates or The Rum Diary. If they can nominate him for The Tourist, anything's possible. It'd be brilliant if they nominated him for Rango, though.
Won't bother with the Drama categories here, they look mostly just like the Oscar contenders. I will say though, I do wonder how these foreign film critics will feel about The Help and Moneyball. I'm predicting them both for Best Drama, but they're also very "Americana" kind of films that don't do very well outside of the U.S., much like The Blind Side.

December 15, 2011 at 12:09AM EST Reply to CommentAs Billy Boy already pointed out in a comment here, the HFPA reportedly loved The Ides of March and Midnight in Paris. I have them both predicted for 3 nominations each, but I'm wondering if "loved" could translate into a lot of surprises for these two films. There's a chance Clooney could end up with FIVE nominations tomorrow, if The Ides of March gets in for Picture, Director, and Screenplay, and if he gets nominated for both Actor (The Descendants) and Supporting Actor (TIOM). Doubtful, but you never know, especially considering their overt generosity towards major celebrities.
As for Midnight in Paris, I think Cotillard probably has a shot at a nomination tomorrow, especially since her category is still pretty open. Corey Stoll could very well be nominated as well, and I'd like to think that would make up for his exclusion from the ensemble list at the SAG.
