<< Previous (Best Actor Predictions)
Best Director
These nominees usually line up perfectly with the Best Picture - Drama nominees, but in reality it is the five most highly regarded nominees in either Best Picture category (which explains how comedy filmmakers David O. Russell and Alexander Payne snuck in last year). Best Screenplay
Unlike the Oscars, the Globes' do not distinguish between original and adapted screenplays, placing all in competition here. It does seem unlikely that the Globes would snub Boyhood from Picture, yet recognize it for Screenplay, but there is precedent: that's what the Academy has done for Richard Linklater's last two Before movies. There's also the fact that if I'm completely wrong about Boyhood (which most would anticipate), I at least get this prediction right.
Best Animated Feature
The Academy usually likes to throw in one obscure foreign animated film that has barely played in North America, but the Globes generally do not, making these nominees the easiest to predict. The winner is still somewhat up for grabs; The Lego Movie is the frontrunner, but not quite a foregone conclusion.
Best Foreign Language Film
Like Best Documentary (an award the Globes both introduced and retired in the 1970s), Foreign Language Film is notoriously tough to predict in any awards show. I can't pretend I've seen most of these, so I'm mostly relying on others' opinions.
Best Original Song
The first two Hunger Games became Golden Globe nominees purely because of this category. I don't see the streak ending this time, with another pop act (Lorde) involved. "I'll Get You What You Want" from Muppets Most Wanted has a shot at the Oscars, but I'd be shocked for it turn up here, after the Globes completely snubbed 2011's superb The Muppets altogether. Hollywood Foreign Press must hate the Muppets.
Best Original Score
Another category that is tough to predict, with almost no score awards issued yet this season.
