Final Golden Globe Winner Predictions


I’m always excited for the Golden Globes, the first major awards ceremony of the season, and Oscar nominations haven’t yet come out, so we still have the chance to see some big surprises that won’t actually affect the nominations since ballots are already past due.

I’ve been in massive catch-up mode the past week or so, tracking down all nominees that are out on DVD and seeing the few remaining films in theaters. I’m just missing a few best actress nominees and foreign and animated contenders, but I feel pretty well-prepared. More than in previous years, I’m actually a fan of most of the movies up for the top prizes, with “Florence Foster Jenkins” and “Hacksaw Ridge” being my least favorites and still earning a B grade. As long as “Nocturnal Animals” doesn’t win anything, I’ll be thrilled to see any film triumph. I’m most pumped about “Hell or High Water” and would love to see it pick up a few wins. I’m also rooting for “Elle” in the Best Foreign Film race. If anything other than “Manchester by the Sea,” “Moonlight,” or “La La Land” takes home a few trophies, get ready for an unexpected Oscar race! Head over to TVwithAbe.com for predictions in all of the TV races, and enjoy the show!
