71st Annual Golden Globes Predictions

Well, the Golden Globes will be held tonight, hosted by my favorite comics, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey and i thought that i would attempt to predict the outcome of each of the film categories during tonight's ceremony here goes!

Best Motion Picture Drama: Well, i feel that the most deserving film nominated is Gravity, however the most likely winner appears to be 12 Years A Slave, which has been getting a large amount of pre-award season buzz.

Best Motion Picture Musical Or Comedy: Well, although i would like The Wolf Of Wall Street to win this award, the most likely candidate to win is either American Hustle or Her, with American Hustle perhaps being the favorite.

Best Actor In A Motion Picture Drama: This one is again a toss up between Chiwetel Ejiofor for 12 Years A Slave and Matthew McConaughey for Dallas Buyers Club, Chiwetel Ejiofor has been getting more buzz for his performance, and so is perhaps a more likely winner.

Best Actress In A Motion Picture Drama: This as well is a sure fire toss up between Cate Blanchett and Sandra Bullock, before the release of Gravity, Blanchett was the favorite, however now Sandra Bullock is a sure bet in my humble opinion.

Best Actor In A Motion Picture Musical Or Comedy: My pick for this category is Leonardo DiCaprio, whose performance is visceral, funny and energetic, it is time for Leonardo DiCaprio's talent to be recognized by the HFPA.

Best Actress In A Motion Picture Musical Of Comedy: It would be nice for Julia Louis Dreyfus to win this award, however Amy Adams has been receiving much acclaim for her performance in American Hustle, and deserves the win.

Best Supporting Actor In A Motion Picture: It is notoriously difficult to predict supporting categories, however here the most likely candidate is Jared Leto, whose performance in Dallas Buyers Club has received much acclaim.

Best Supporting Actress In A Motion Picture: Again, bizarrely, here we also have a likely candidate, Jennifer Lawrence seems poised for another awards scoop this year for her performance in American Hustle.

Best Director: Alfonso Cuaron's direction in Gravity has been overwhelmingly acclaimed, and thus he deserves to win the Golden Globe tonight.

Best Screenplay: This year, Her seems to represent the most original, heartfelt and insighful material that Hollywood has to offer, the fact that it is not an adaptation seems to cement it's place as this years best screenplay and thus the most logical recipient of the Golden Globe

Best Original Score: Well, this is hard for me to judge, however i will say that Gravity has received much acclaim for it's score, and thus seems a likely winner tonight.

Best Original Song: Well this one is easy to judge, Let It Go from Frozen is a fantastic song, beautifully sung, and has received much acclaim, therefore this is my prediction for the Best Original Song Globe tonight.

Best Animated Feature Film: This again is a no-brainer, Frozen knocks the other contenders out of the water, and is set to become Disneys first win in this category.

Best Foreign Language Film: Although it is perhaps not the best film in this category, Blue Is The Warmest Color is the most well known abroad, and is thus the favorite for the Golden Globe
