Golden Globes: Final Predictions

Bolded ones are the actual nominations =)

Best Motion Picture - Drama

American Gangster
Atonement
Michael Clayton
No Country for Old Men
There Will Be Blood
Eastern Promises
The Great Debaters
(Into the Wild)

[Alternates: Before the Devil Knows You're Dead & I'm Not There]

Did not think there would be seven nominations. Too much? Good for Atonement getting the most nominations

Best Motion Picture - Musical/Comedy

Hairspray
Juno
Once
The Savages
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Charlie Wilson's War
Across the Universe
(Enchanted)

[Alternate: Knocked Up & Lars and the Real Girl]

Once was rudely snubbed and The Savages should have gotten in here. They were both better reviewed movies than Charlie Wilson's War and Across the Universe.

Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama

George Clooney - Michael Clayton
Tommy Lee Jones - In the Valley of Elah
Daniel Day-Lewis - There Will Be Blood
James McAvoy - Atonement
Denzel Washington - American Gangster
Viggo Mortensen - Eastern Promises
(John Cusack - Grace is Gone)

[Alternates: Josh Brolin - No Country for Old Men & Frank Langella - Starting Out in the Evening]

Thought the HFPA would throw Tommy Lee Jones a bone, but oh well. He still could make Oscar's shortlist

Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical/Comedy

Don Cheadle - Talk to Me
Johnny Depp - Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Ryan Gosling - Lars and the Real Girl
Glen Hansard - Once
Philip Seymour Hoffman - The Savages
Tom Hanks - Charlie Wilson's War
John C. Reilly - Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
(John Travolta - Hairspray)

[Alternates: Jack Nicholson - The Bucket List & Seth Rogen - Knocked Up]

John C. Reilly should not be here. His movie looks like shit and Tom Hanks is there for star power.

Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama

Cate Blanchett - Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Julie Christie - Away From Her
Jodie Foster - The Brave One
Angelina Jolie - A Mighty Heart
Keira Knightley - Atonement
(Halle Berry - Things We Lost in the Fire)

[Alternates: Anamaria Marinca - 4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days & Tang Wei - Lust, Caution]

Duh! They all deserve the nomination

Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical/Comedy

Nikki Blonsky - Hairspray
Helena Bonham-Carter - Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Marion Cotillard - La Vie en Rose
Laura Linney - The Savages
Ellen Page - Juno
(Amy Adams - Enchanted)

[Alternates: Katherine Heigl - Knocked Up & Nicole Kidman - Margot at the Wedding]

They really should have had six nominees here. Laura Linney was horribly snubbed.

Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture

Casey Affleck - The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Javier Bardem - No Country for Old Men
Philip Bosco - The Savages
Hal Holbrook - Into the Wild
Tom Wilkinson - Michael Clayton
(Philip Seymour Hoffman - Charlie Wilson's War)

[Alternate: Russell Crowe - American Gangster & Max von Sydow - The Diving Bell and the Butterfly]

Ughhh. Why is John Travolta here? Sure it was a nice performance, but not award worthy. He egregiously took Hal Holbrook's nomination

Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture

Cate Blanchett - I'm Not There
Kelly Macdonald - No Country for Old Men
Saoirse Ronan - Atonement
Amy Ryan - Gone Baby Gone
Tilda Swinton - Michael Clayton
Julia Roberts - Charlie Wilson's War
(Jennifer Jason Leigh - Margot at the Wedding)

[Alternates: Jennifer Garner - Juno & Vanessa Redgrave - Atonement)

Julia Roberts = Star power, so blah! Everyone else is good.

Best Director

P.T. Anderson - There Will Be Blood
Tim Burton - Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Ethan & Joel Coen - No Country For Old Men
Ridley Scott - American Gangster
Joe Wright - Atonement
(Sidney Lumet - Before the Devil Knows You're Dead)

[Alternates: Sean Penn - Into the Wild & Julian Schnabel - The Diving Bell and the Butterfly]

Good and respectable line up. P.T. Anderson should have been included here.

Atonement
Juno
No Country for Old Men
The Savages
There Will Be Blood
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

Poor Beowulf. Bee Movie made more money at the box office.
