2016 Golden Globe Film Predictions: Complete List

The Golden Globes are this Sunday, which kicks off the end of the awards season. See who will take home gold and who will go home empty handed with our Golden Globe Film Predictions!

Best Motion Picture – Drama

Nominees:
Carol
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Revenant
Room
Spotlight

Will Win: Spotlight
Could Win: The Revenant
Should Win: Mad Max: Fury Road

Spotlight has been the consistent frontrunner up to this point and has yet to show any sign of weakness. However, the Hollywood Foreign Press likes… well, foreign things. Alejandro Inurritu, who won last year for Birdman, could take it again with The Revenant. 

Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama

Nominees:
Cate Blanchett, Carol
Brie Larson, Room
Rooney Mara, Carol
Saoirse Ronan, Brooklyn
Alicia Vikander, The Danish Girl

Will Win: Brie Larson, Room
Could Win: Saoirse Ronan, Brooklyn
Should Win: Brie Larson, Room

Brie Larson is an unproven frontrunner as of yet. The critics did not go for her. However, she is the Oscar frontrunner, which is often infallible when it comes to wins here. Don’t be surprised if any other one of the nominees takes it.

Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama

Nominees:
Bryan Cranston, Trumbo
Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant
Michael Fassbender, Steve Jobs
Eddie Redmayne, The Danish Girl
Will Smith, Concussion

Will Win: Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant
Could Win: Bryan Cranston, Trumbo
Should Win: Michael Fassbender, Steve Jobs

Both Leonardo DiCaprio and Bryan Cranston have good track records at the Globes. However, with the former looking to finally win his first Oscar, the Globes are sure to try to be on the right side of history.
