Final Golden Globe Winner Predictions

I’m not sure why it happened, but MoviesWithAbe.com was down for the past couple of days. It’s back up now, just in time for the Golden Globes tonight! If you missed reactions to nominees in every Oscar category, please peruse them now.

For tonight’s awards, it’s crucial to remember that ballots were due one day before Oscar nominations were announced. That means that voters had no idea that Ben Affleck and Kathryn Bigelow would be snubbed, and that they may very well have had plenty of support within the HFPA. I was predicting Affleck to win before Oscar nominees were revealed, and I’m not changing my predictions. I’d love to see John Hawkes defeat Daniel Day-Lewis as a consolation prize for his unfortunate Oscar snub, but I’m sure that won’t happen. It would also be nice to see either Marion Cotillard or Leonardo DiCaprio rewarded since they’re in the same boat. Most of these categories are sewn up, and the real question is just which movies take the top prizes. Clearly people love “Silver Linings Playbook,” so watch out for that to upset “Les Miserables.” Otherwise, I’m pulling for “Anna Karenina” in the Best Original Score race since it’s such a superb soundtrack. Head over to TVwithAbe.com for predictions in all of the TV races, and enjoy the show!
