2019 Golden Globes Predictions — Film

The Golden Globes, the first televised awards of the season, are this Sunday. Here are our predictions for every film category.

The first major awards show of the season, the Golden Globes, is this Sunday! Vice leads all films—drama and musical or comedy—with 6 nominations including Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy.

Not far behind is Oscar favorites The Favourite (with nominations for all three leading actresses), Green Book, and A Star is Born (including nominations for Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper).

If our predictions are right, Vice and A Star is Born will lead with 3 wins apiece.

Best Actress in a Motion Picture — Drama

The nominees:

  • Glenn Close, The Wife
  • Lady Gaga, A Star is Born
  • Nicole Kidman, Destroyer
  • Melissa McCarthy, Can You Ever Forgive Me?
  • Rosamund Pike, A Private War

Will Win: Lady Gaga, A Star is Born

Could Win: Glenn Close, The Wife

Should Win: Lady Gaga, A Star is Born

With her main Oscar rivals Olivia Colman (The Favourite) and Emily Blunt (Mary Poppins Returns) in the Comedy or Musical category, Lady Gaga (A Star is Born) has an easy path to the win.

Best Actor in a Motion Picture — Drama

The nominees:

Will Win: Rami Malek, Bohemian Rhapsody

Could Win: Bradley Cooper, A Star is Born

Should Win: Bradley Cooper, A Star is Born

The Golden Globes love a musical performance, and this category has two—the reason they’re not in the comedy or musical category is because the studios opted to submit the films as dramas. This race is a toss-up between Rami Malek’s energetic portrayal of Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody and Bradley Cooper’s southern drenched alcoholic country star in A Star is Born.

The Globes—unlike most critics—loved Bohemian Rhapsody, so I think Malek has the edge.

Best Motion Picture — Drama

The nominees:

Will Win: A Star is Born

Could Win: BlacKkKlansman

Should Win: If Beale Street Could Talk

Though it’s been a bit dormant during critics season, this is A Star is Born’s chance to shine. Plus, the Golden Globes always go with the Oscar frontrunner. If there is an upset, Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman—it overperformed in nominations—is the most likely to pull it off.
