Globes Predictions

Just to keep it brief before the party starts, here's who we know will win at the Globes tonight:

Best Picture- Boyhood (Drama) Birdman (Comedy/Musical)
Best Actor (Comedy/Musical)- Michael Keaton (Birdman)
Best Actress (Drama)- Julianne Moore (Still Alice)
Best Supporting Actor- J.K. Simmons (Whiplash)
Best Supporting Actress- Patricia Arquette (Boyhood)


Best Director is likely to be Boyhood's Linklater, however, the ever pretentious Globes knows what they mean to the Oscar race, so they could decide to throw some wild cards in the race, including giving Director to Fincher or Inarritu.

Best Actor in a Drama will most likely be Eddie Redmayne as Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, however, if he splits votes with Cumberbatch, look for a surprise victory for Selma's Oyelowo.

Best Actress in a Comedy/Muscial never has a huge impact on the Oscar race, and the Globes urge to use their power where it makes a difference.  Hence, I believe the favorite is, again Julianne Moore, this time in Maps to the Stars, however, Amy Adams could just as easily win for Big Eyes.

Finally, Screenplay will be either The Grand Budapest Hotel or Gone Girl, depending on how they want to spread around the awards.  If Fincher steals Best Director, then they'll give Wes Anderson screenplay for Grand Budapest.
