2019 Golden Globes Open Thread
Yup, it's that time of year again. Though we know that many of you C&Lers are much too cool and too busy to worry about rich people giving each other awards, for those of us who recognize that entertainment provides a window into the values of a society and that art is what elevates us, it's time for the Hollywood Foreign Press to launch the awards season, with hosts Sandra Oh and Andy Samburg.
Please consider this an open thread for you to offer up your predictions, reviews of the shows/movies being honored, notable speeches or gripes of snubs. My predictions are listed after the nominations. John Amato has predictions for the television categories that I'm also including.
Film
Best Picture — Drama
- Black Panther
- BlacKKKlansman
- Bohemian Rhapsody
- If Beale Street Could Talk
- A Star Is Born
The two movies that stayed with me the longest this year (Blindspotting and Three Identical Strangers) weren't even nominated. I have a feeling that A Star is Born will win the sentiments of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association voting body, but my personal choice of the nominees would be BlacKKKlansman, narrowly edging out If Beale Street Could Talk.
Best Picture — Comedy or Musical
