Golden Globes 2015 Predictions

International journalists who live in L.A. pick these awards, so anything goes. But I predict that Poehler will be funny, Fey will laugh at her own jokes, and that these folks will win:

Picture (Drama)

Winner: Boyhood

Spoiler: Selma

The buzz about Boyhood should officially begin tonight.

Picture (Musical or Comedy)

Winner: Birdman

Spoiler: The Grand Budapest Hotel

Tonight, Bird is the word.

Director

Winner: Richard Linklater, Boyhood

Spoiler: Ava Duvernay, Selma

Two choices the Globes would love to reward. Some historical accuracy issues give Linklater the edge — and they'd love to reward this project. 

Actor (Drama)

Winner: Eddie Redmayne, The Theory of Everything

Spoiler: Benedict Cumberbatch, The Imitation Game

The easiest bet of the night.

Actor (Comedy or Musical)
Winner: Michael Keaton, Birdman
Spoiler: Ralph Fiennes, The Grand Budapest Hotel
Keaton would be a clear bet, but the Globes sometimes shock with a clearly comedic movie.

Actress (Drama)

Winner: Julianne Moore, Still Alice

Spoiler: : Jennifer Anniston, Cake

Anniston has a strong campaign going, we'll see how it works out.

Actress (Comedy or Musical)

Winner: Emily Blunt, Into The Woods

Spoiler: : Amy Adams, Big Eyes

The toughest call of the night. None of these nominees will likely get an Oscar nomination. I'm betting that they reward the musical portion of the category here.

Supporting Actor

Winner: J.K. Simmons, Whiplash

Spoiler:: Ed Norton, Birdman

I'm rooting for both of these unforgettable performances.

Supporting Actress

Winner: Patricia Arquette, Boyhood

Spoiler:: Emma Stone, Birdman

Screenplay

Winner: Boyhood

Spoiler: Birdman

It could go either way. 

Foreign Language

Winner: Leviathan

Spoiler: Ida

International journalists who live in L.A. are picking the best foreign movie -so who knows. Force Majeure could win. Ida is a tough topic. IF they saw it, it wins.

Animated Feature

Winner: The Lego Movie

Spoiler: The Book of Life

Score

Winner: Birdman

Spoiler: The Theory of Everything

Birdman's score is not eligible at the Oscars; the Globes have the best opportunity to recognize Birdman for one of the best scores this year.

Song

Winner: Glory, Selma (John Legend and Common)

Spoiler: Yellow Flicker Beat, Hunger Games (Lorde)

I have a vision of Lorde on stage, but it's hard to bet against Glory. In this category, everything is awesome.
