pedrohemg 7,802 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Best Film Drama Actress This year the drama actress competition is really tight. I didn't see The Post yet but all reviews say Meryl is simply spectacular, her gestures, moves are all perfect even for her standards. Maybe she delivered the best performance of her career. But media has already chosen their favorite, who is Frances McDormand for her role in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. But let's not forget that last year the favorite to win everything was Natalie Portman but she lost the Globes for Isabelle Hurppert, the SAG and Oscar for Emma Stone. Besides, a portion of the critics believes Meryl will win this year not only because of her great performance but her powerful political speech last year. So my bet is: Meryl Streep. Best Film Drama Actor This should be an easy win for Gary Oldman (Darkest Hour), but let's not forget Daniel Day-Lewis is retiring from acting so maybe the HFPA won't let him do this without an award. My bet is: Gary Oldman. Best Director Although I really love Steven Spielberg, this is a competition between Christopher Nolan (Dunkirk) and Guillermo Del Toro (The Shape of Water). Since TSOW received most nominations, I'm going with Guillermo. Best Film Drama Really difficult category. I think it's between The Shape of Water, Three Billboards and The Post. Since the movie that receives most nominations generally doesn't win best film drama, I'm not betting on TSOW. And since we're talking about Hollywood Foreign Press, Washington Post, a movie with Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, my bet is The Post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley 54,952 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Wait Gary Oldman is nominated for a Globe? Didn't he used to boycott the Globes? Why would his label submit his performance for consideration? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His debut performance was natural and exceptional. He's truly a superstar actor in the making Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 90 members make things unpredictable. Spoiler I still can't believe they chose Gaga over Kristen Dunst.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy 10,357 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Why did you not mention the comedy categories at all? Ladybird's in that and is far and away the favorite of the award show circuit this year. Â Sidenote: I don't understand why Dunkirk wouldn't get some awards or isn't a favorite to win some. I think it was Nolan's best movie since Inception. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was Nolan's best movie since Inception. I only mentioned the ones I'm most interested but feel free to talk about other categories here. Yeah, Lady Bird will win best comedy and best comedy actress. Maybe in other categories Dunkirk will succeed but I think TSOW has some advantage in directing.

Sorcerer 10,559 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I always follow the awards season so thank you for the thread. Best Film Drama Very difficult competition this year. It is between The Shape of Water (the one with most nominations), The Post and Three Billboards. The Shape of Water might win because of its romance. The Post can win because it is about journalism and the voters are journalists. Three Billboards might also win because many of the voters are said to have loved it and it also had many nominations. Personal choice: The Post Best Director Between Guillermo Del Toro and Christopher Nolan. I didn't like Dunkirk that much, but Nolan still has a ton of fans. Personal choice: Guillermo Del Toro Best Drama Actress Between Frances McDormand, Meryl Streep, and Sally Hawkins. I am personally rooting for McDormand since she still doesn't have a Globe. Streep might still win to have another opportunity for a massive speech. Personal choice: Frances McDormand Best Drama Actor Between Gary Oldman and Timotheé Chalamet. Oldman might have some bad reputation for the HFPA. Chalamet is the next big superstar with his subtle acting. But politics and personal matters aside, Oldman gave the showiest and biggest performance. Personal choice: Gary Oldman Best Comedy Film Most likely to be Lady Bird, but Get Out's hype might catch up. Personal choice: Lady Bird Best Comedy Actor and Actress Dave Franco for actor. Saoirse Ronan for actress. Judi Dench might catch up with her camaraderie with HFPA, but I personally prefer Margot Robbie in I, Tonya for her transformative performance. Personal choices: Dave Franco and Margot Robbie Best Supporting Actor Christopher Plummer is getting all the hype for replacing Kevin Spacey in his film. But Willem Dafoe is getting all the critics awards, along with Sam Rockwell. Personal choice: Willem Dafoe Best Supporting Actress Laurie Metcalf multi-dimensionality in Lady Bird was amazing, but watch out for Allison Janney in I, Tonya. Personal choice: Laurie Metcalf  1 hour ago, LePetitMonstr said: Call Me By Your name is overrated as hell. There, I said it. It was fine, impressive and emotional, but very limited in scope and not groundbreaking to be a Best Picture winner. So yes, it is overrated. Some people only root for it because they love and relate to the book and the film, but haven't watched the other contenders. 1 hour ago, Ziggy said: I don't understand why Dunkirk wouldn't get some awards or isn't a favorite to win some. I think it was Nolan's best movie since Inception. It is still a frontrunner but it didn't really perform well in local critics awards. Also, it missed out acting and screenplay nominations. So mostly, it is just praised for its directing and technicality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope you wrong about McDormand, because Meryl is my queen. hahaha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
