My Golden Globe TV & Film Picks 2012
Oh, I LOVE awards season! I feel as if I’m paying more attention to the SAGS, or the BAFTA’s lately, but I love TV and Film coming together for the Golden Globes. Love it! So, generally I always print out a sheet of my picks at work, and squeal or gasp at just who wins, live – at work, since I can’t be home to watch it. Refresh button is my best friend. I’m sharing my picks of who I think should win, and who I think will win. Sadly, I don’t always think the two will match.
Sometimes I’m blindly optimistic, but I’m taking great pride if I get more than 5 picks right :) Onto the picks! Click to scroll through, and make your own :)
Best Drama Series -
HOMELAND – I really really think this has to win. I will be very annoyed if it doesn’t!
Best Comedy or Musical Series -
MODERN FAMILY – I don’t think anything else can come close, and I certainly don’t think Enlightened should even be considered comedy.
Best Motion Picture – Drama -
This one is tricky. My heart is leaning towards MONEYBALL but my head is leaning towards THE IDES OF MARCH.
Best Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical -
This is another tricky category. Early on, MY WEEK WITH MARILYN was the one with the buzz, and now I’m thinking THE ARTIST. But is THE ARTIST too obscure, and left of centre?
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama -
Goodness. Really tough category. I would like TILDA SWINTON to win, but I’ll say they’ll go MERYL STREEP. Better performance than a movie, I heard?
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama -
With this, I really wish RYAN GOSLING was nominated for DRIVE rather than THE IDES OF MARCH as I think he was much more dynamic in it. So as such, in this category, I think the win will go to BRAD PITT in Moneyball. Because you honestly forget that its Brad MotherFlukin’ Pitt in this performance!
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical -
I would love MICHELLE WILLIAMS to win this, even having not seen the film. She just looks amazing in the trailers, the teasers, and I think she was a fabulous pick for the role.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical -
Again, RYAN GOSLING. The suit. Those sunglasses. And the amazing chemistry with Emma Stone. Buuuut I don’t think its this role in this category. For this category, I’d say it goes to JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT in 50/50. A bit of a dramedy if you will, not exactly laugh out loud, but a stand out performance.
Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama -
I would love OCTAVIA SPENCER to win for her role in THE HELP, but instead my head is leaning towards JESSICA CHASTAIN for her standout role, with less airtime but as much impact.
Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama -
I’d have to say with this one, it would go to either of two icons – ALBERT BROOKS for his chilling role in DRIVE, or CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER’S sweet, endearing role alongside EWAN MCGREGOR in THE BEGINNERS.
Best Director – Motion Picture -
Oooooh. Tough one, as I have only really seen one film out of this bunch! Argh! So uninformed! I go with the CLOONEY.
Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Drama -
CLAIRE DANES. Seriously. I don’t reaaaally like her. I thought she was a homewrecker. (Think Billy Crudup) But she has been brilliant. (You can obviously tell this has been my fave new show this season!)
Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Drama
DAMIEN LEWIS. Brilliant. Hero, or enemy? Such a magnetic role! If not him, then they’ll give it to BRYAN CRANSTON for Breaking Bad. I can’t stop hearing about that show! Speaking of Cranston, why no recognition for his role in DRIVE? Loved him so much!
Best Actress in a Television Series – Comedy or Musical -
LAURA LINNEY! But I severely do not want LAURA DERN to win. Severely.
Best Actor in a Television Series – Comedy or Musical -
David Duchovny. What?! Californication is still running? Oh Mulder, what have you DONE?! He will always be Fox to me. I digress! THOMAS JANE for HUNG? I really don’t like anyone in this category!
Best Supporting Actress in a Television Series -
SOFIA VERGARA! She has such great comedic timing, and natural wit – oh, and the accent! (You thought I was going to say boobs didn’t you?)
Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series -
I would like ERIC STONESTREET to win, but I have a feeling PETER DINKLAGE may score again. Tough one, haven’t seen a few of these shows.
Well, I think I got them all (remembered all the major ones I mean) Wish me luck! I mean… wish them luck? They’re just happy to be nominated, right?
Welcome! Did I catch your eye? Pop Couture is an outlet for me, Kimberley to express all the things that light up my eyes at the pretty, at the shiny, make me giggle, make me sputter, basically they make me want to just share it with anyone who will listen (or actually, read)
