2017 Golden Globe Predictions   


Image result for golden globes 2017

The Golden Globes are on this Sunday, January 8th. Here is what I think will happen in the major film categories:

Best Film - Drama

Nominees:
Hacksaw Ridge
Hell or High Water
Lion
Manchester by the Sea
Moonlight

Prediction: I think Manchester by the Sea will win, but would not be surprised to see Moonlight or even Hacksaw Ridge take it. 

Best Film - Comedy or Musical

Nominees:
20th Century Women
Deadpool
Florence Foster Jenkins
La La Land
Sing Street

 This one isn't hard; It's La La Land. Also, how on earth  did Deadpool get nominated?

Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama


 Nominees:
Casey Affleck - Manchester by the Sea
Joel Edgerton - Loving 
Andrew Garfield - Hacksaw Ridge
Viggo Mortensen - Captain Fantastic
Denzel Washington - Fences

Prediction: It's between Denzel Washington and Casey Affleck. I'll give the edge to Affleck because I think Manchester will win in a lot of categories on Sunday night.

Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama


 Nominees:
Amy Adams - Arrival
Jessica Chastain - Miss Sloane
Isabelle Huppert - Elle
Ruth Negga - Loving
Natalie Portman - Jackie

 Prediction: The HFPA loves Amy Adams and have given her Globes for far worse performances. But I have a feeling they won't be able to resist rewarding Natalie Portman for her take on Jackie Kennedy. 

Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical


 Image result for golden globes 2017Nominees:
Colin Farrell - The Lobster
Ryan Gosling - La La Land
Hugh Grant - Florence Foster Jenkins
Jonah Hill - War Dogs
Ryan Reynolds - Deapool

 Prediction: I'm pretty sure it's Ryan Gosling. Small possibility of a Hugh Grant upset.

Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical 


 Nominees:
Anette Bening - 20th Century Women
Lily Collins - Rules Don't Apply
Hailee Steinfeld - The Edge of Seventeen
Emma Stone - La La Land
Meryl Streep -Florence Foster Jenkins

 Prediction: Emma Stone. Emma Stone. Emma Stone. 

Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture


 Nominees:
Marhershala Ali - Moonlight
Jeff Bridges - Hell or High Water
Dev Patel - Lion
Simon Helberg - Florence Foster Jenkins
Aaron Taylor Johnson - Nocturnal Animals

 Prediction: It's a tossup between Ali and Bridges. I'll say Ali because he seems to be the critics' favorite. 

Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture


 Nominees:
Viola Davis - Fences
Naomie Harris - Moonlight
Nicole Kidman - Lion
Octavia Spencer - Hidden Figures
Michelle Williams - Manchester by the Sea

 Prediction: Kidman is an HFPA favorite, but I think Viola Davis will continue her winning streak for Fences. 

Best Director 


 Nominees:
Damien Chazelle - La La Land
Tom Ford - Nocturnal Animals
Mel Gibson - Hacksaw Ridge
Barry Jenkins - Moonlight
Kenneth Lonergan - Manchester by the Sea 

 Prediction: This is a tough category to call. Gibson is the only previous winner, so that gives him an edge. But I think it's between Chazelle and Jenkins because their films are getting the most buzz. 

 I am not going to predict the TV categories, but they love new shows, so expect Westworld, Atlanta, Donald Glover, Issa Rae, and Winona Ryder all to win. 

 Who do YOU think will win? Let me know in the comments below!

Who is The Black Hood on Riverdale? Here are 5 Possible Suspects

By
There's a killer on the loose in Riverdale , the setting of the CW's dark adaptation of the Archie Comics, now in its second season. He's called the Black Hood, a reference to the vigilante superhero comic book of the same name published by Archie Comics. So far, he has shot Fred Andrews (Luke Perry), murdered Ms. Grundy (Sarah Habel) with a cello bow, and shot at Midge and Moose ( Emilija Baranac and Cody Kearsley), all while wearing his executioner's hood-style hood, which is how he got his name. His letter to the Coopers in the third episode of the season reveals he is targeting victims that he sees as criminals or hypocrites and the fourth episode revealed he got the idea from Betty's (Lili Reinhart) speech from the end of last season, where she pleaded that "Riverdale must do better." It's looking like figuring out the Black Hood's identity will be the big mystery of season two, so I have put together a list of possible suspects. Note: Th...

A Great Show Rushes to its End: "Mom" Finale Review

By
It's never easy to end a TV show, especially a long-running, beloved show like Mom . "My Kinda People and the Big To-Do," the last episode of Mom that aired May 13 on CBS, was a good episode. It was maybe even a great episode. But was it a satisfying series conclusion? No, not really. But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Before we talk about what didn't happen in the episode, let's talk about what did happen.  The episode begins at an AA meeting, as many episodes have. The ladies - Bonnie, Tammy, Jill, Marjorie, & Wendy - all share. They're all happy and in good places in their lives, much to the annoyance of newcomer Shannon (played by Melanie Lynskey, independent film mainstay whose sitcom credits include Chuck Lorre's Two and a Half Men ). Bonnie wants to help Shannon, as she had been helped by others when she too was new to the program, and even chases Shannon in the rain when she leaves the meeting. Later in the episode, we see Shannon...

Ranking the Five Best On Screen Portrayals of Hercule Poirot

By
Before Kenneth Brnagh dons the iconic mustache in the highly-anticpated new adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express (in theatres November 10th), I thought I would take a look back at some of the most famous portryals of Hercule Poirot. Agatha Christie's signature creation, Poirot is peculiar. meticulous, and at times, bombastic and arrogant, but he always solves the case in the end, with the help of his little grey cells. Countless actors have portrayed the Belgian detective on stage, screen, or radio, including Charles Laughton, Austin Trevor, Orson Welles, and Ian Holm. But this list focuses on TV or film adaptations just becuase those are the ones I have seen. 5. Alfred Molina (2001) Molina played Poirot in the 2001 TV movie version of Murder on the Orient Express . He's a terrific actor, generally, but his Poirot is not distinctive or memorable in any way. The accent is not great, the mustache is not great, and he is not eccentric enough to get away with bei...
