Every year there are several surprises in store as the Golden Globes are notoriously unpredictable, but we took a shot in the dark and tried to predict who will win anyways.
Here are our predictions for the film categories, including who we would like to see take home the awards.
Best Motion Picture — Drama
The Irishman Joker The Two Popes Marriage Story 1917Should win:The Irishman. Filmmaking at its very finest, Martin Scorsese assembled an almighty crew to wave goodbye to the goodfellas in a melancholic musing on growing old, guilt and humanity. One of the director's best films, this was the highlight of cinema in 2019.
Will win:The Irishman
Best Director — Motion Picture
Bong Joon-ho - Parasite Sam Mendes - 1917 Todd Phillips - Joker Martin Scorsese - The Irishman Quentin Tarantino - Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Should win: Bong Joon-ho - Parasite. If you have been lucky enough to see Parasite (it's out later this year in the UK) you will understand why we want Joon-ho to win. It is a phenomenal film that will continually surprise you and ignores genre boundaries, and that is all down to Joon-ho.
Will win: Martin Scorsese - The Irishman
Best Performance By An Actor In A Motion Picture — Drama
Christian Bale - Ford vs. Ferrari Antonio Banderas - Pain And Glory Adam Driver - Marriage Story Joaquin Phoenix - Joker Jonathan Pryce - The Two Popes
Should win: Joaquin Phoenix - Joker. From the moment we saw Phoenix as the Clown Prince Of Crime we knew this awards season would belong to him, and he truly deserves it. We are very grateful he was allowed to run wild with the character, thus delivering an outstanding performance.
Will win: Joaquin Phoenix - Joker
Best Motion Picture — Musical Or Comedy
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Knives Out Dolemite Is My Name Jojo Rabbit RocketmanShould win:Knives Out. This captivating whodunnit from writer and director Rian Johnson truly has it all, from stellar performances, to laugh-out-loud jokes, intriguing social commentary and many, many layers which makes it even more interesting on a rewatch.
Will win:Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
Best Performance By An Actor In A Motion Picture — Musical Or Comedy
Taron Egerton - Rocketman Eddie Murphy - Dolemite Is My Name Daniel Craig - Knives Out Roman Griffin Davis - Jojo Rabbit Leonardo DiCaprio - Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
Should win: Daniel Craig - Knives Out. In his best performance to date, Craig is incredible as the eccentric, sharp, and hilarious private detective Benoit Blanc. Please can we have more Blanc mysteries!
Will win: Taron Egerton - Rocketman
Best Performance By An Actress In A Motion Picture — Drama
Cynthia Erivo - Harriet Scarlett Johansson - Marriage Story Saoirse Ronan - Little Women Charlize Theron - Bombshell Renée Zellweger - Judy
Should win: Scarlett Johansson - Marriage Story. While the majority of the praise for Marriage Story is being directed towards actor Adam Driver, his co-star Johansson is equally brilliant and worthy of awards.
Will win: Renée Zellweger - Judy
Best Performance By An Actress In A Motion Picture — Musical Or Comedy
Beanie Feldstein - Booksmart Emma Thompson - Late Night Ana de Armas - Knives Out Awkwafina - The Farewell Cate Blanchett - Where’d You Go, Bernadette
Should win: Ana de Armas - Knives Out. We really are feeling a lot of love for Knives Out, and one of the many highlights is de Armas as nurse and caretaker Marta Cabrera. At first seemingly meek, de Armas is able to build off that shyness to create a complex character who knows what she needs to do to survive.
Will win: Awkwafina - The Farewell
Best Performance By An Actor In A Supporting Role In Any Motion Picture
Tom Hanks - A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood Anthony Hopkins - The Two Popes Al Pacino - The Irishman Joe Pesci - The Irishman Brad Pitt - Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
Should win: Al Pacino - The Irishman. This was the toughest category to call, but Pacino just about takes it for us as Jimmy Hoffa, one of his finest performances.
Will win: Joe Pesci - The Irishman
Best Performance By An Actress In A Supporting Role In Any Motion Picture
Margot Robbie - Bombshell Kathy Bates - Richard Jewell Annette Bening - The Report Laura Dern - Marriage Story Jennifer Lopez - Hustlers
Should win: Jennifer Lopez - Hustlers. Yeah, we are all aboard the J-Lo train ever since we saw the incredible Hustlers. She is iconic as veteran stripper Ramona.
Will win: Jennifer Lopez - Hustlers
Best Motion Picture — Animated
Frozen 2 How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World The Lion King Missing Link Toy Story 4Should win:Missing Link. Another tough category, we ended up choosing the stop-motion option Missing Link due to it's charm, originality and creativity.
Will win:Frozen 2
