One thing that sends me all a-twitter is a good awards show. The outifts, the anticipation, and the acceptance speeches are things that one looks forward to all year. I usually have only one rule of thumb when it comes to awards shows - I want Meryl Streep to win EVERYTHING. It doesn't really matter what the movie/role is or if I have seen it or not. I will choose her over pretty much everyone - Allison Janney/Dame Judi Dench come in close seconds.
The other fun part of watching any awards show is attempting to accurately predict which way it is going to go. The Golden Globes are in some ways intended to foreshadow what is going to happen at the Academy Awards, but that doesn't always pan out.
So here are some of my own predictions for the 2010 Golden Globes awards.
BEST PICTURE DRAMA: Avatar
- This may seem a little cliche'd because there are a lot of great movies nominated this year including Precious and The Hurt Locker. However, the intense graphics, scenary, and picture that James Cameron paints in this world is incredible.
BEST PICTURE COMEDY/MUSICAL: The Hangover
Although secretly in the back of my mind I wishing that Julie & Julia steals it away, I think that the Hangover is going to hands down win this category. I am not going to lie, I watched the first 30 minutes of the Hangover and not even the hotness of Bradley Cooper could keep me interested in the movie.
BEST ACTRESS IN A COMEDY OR MUSICAL: Meryl Streep
I do not care if it is for Julie & Julia or for It's Complicated Meryl has to win, and if she doesn't, I will have to learn to pick up the pieces of my life and move on.
BEST ACTOR IN A COMEDY OR MUSICAL: Robert Downey Jr.
I have not seen Sherlock Holmes yet but have heard amazing reviews about the movie as a whole and Robert Downey Jr's performance in it. I think Robert is a stud and has had an amazing comeback, so I anticipate him winning this award.
BEST ANIMATED PICTURE: Up
This was a tough decision, I almost picked Coraline which I think is the other contender for this movie. However Up was just so fricken adorable and had me sobbing like a small child 15 minutes into the movie. Apparently, according to my friends that means nothing because I cry whenever a grasshopper farts.
