Golden Globe Nominees: Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Comedy/Musical

My predictions: 3/5, missing Rebecca Hall and Frances McDormand
Who’s missing? Sarah Jessica Parker (Sex and the City)

Rebecca Hall came out of left field. Clearly, they really liked “Vicky Cristina Barcelona,” and while I found Hall’s performance so-so in that movie, I loved her in “Starter for 10” last year and I’m thrilled to see her getting some overdue recognition. I placed Frances McDormand in the supporting category, but I suppose she could be considered a lead. The other three nominees are completely expected. I’ll rent “Mamma Mia” at some point and I’ll hope to get a chance to see “Last Chance Harvey.”

Who will win? Battle to the death between Meryl Streep and Sally Hawkins. I’m rooting for Hawkins.
