Movie Awards
BEST DRAMA
Black Swan
The Fighter
Inception
The King’s Speech
The Social Network
(Note – I’m not sure the HFPA is as gung-ho about The Social Network as the academy members seem to be, so I think The King’s Speech takes this one)
BEST COMEDY/MUSICAL PICTURE
Alice in Wonderland
Burlesque
The Kids Are All Right
Red
The Tourist
(Note – If any other movie but Kids wins I will throw things at my TV. How did some of these even get nominations? The Tourist? Really? Dear HFPA, you are ridiculous. Hope you enjoyed that trip to Vegas that the producers of Burlesque sent you on. No Love, Me)
BEST DIRECTOR
Darren Aronofsky, Black Swan
David Fincher, Social Network
Tom Hooper, The King's Speech
Christopher Nolan, Inception
David O. Russell, The Fighter
(Note – It’s possible that Hooper walks away the winner, but I think it goes to Fincher all the way)
BEST DRAMA ACTOR
Jesse Eisenberg, The Social Network
Colin Firth, The King's Speech
James Franco, 127 Hours
Ryan Gosling, Blue Valentine
Mark Wahlberg, The Fighter
(Note - As much as I would LOVE a win for Eisenberg or even Gosling, I think this one is as close to a lock as it gets. It’s Firth’s to lose.)
BEST DRAMA ACTRESS
Halle Berry, Frankie and Alice
Nicole Kidman, Rabbit Hole
Jennifer Lawrence, Winter's Bone
Natalie Portman, Black Swan
Michelle Williams, Blue Valentine
(Note – I will be shocked if anyone other than Natalie wins. Not to say that I don’t think the others nominated aren’t worthy – they are, very much so. Natalie’s had this locked for months now though. It will be a huge upset if she loses.)
BEST COMEDY/MUSICAL ACTOR
Johnny Depp, Alice in Wonderland
Johnny Depp, The Tourist
Paul Giamatti, Barney's Version
Jake Gyllenhaal, Love and Other Drugs
Kevin Spacey, Casino Jack
(Note – I won’t be surprised if Johnny wins for Alice; however, I just couldn’t bring myself to pick him as the winner)
BEST COMEDY/MUSICAL ACTRESS
Annette Bening, The Kids Are All Right
Anne Hathaway, Love and Other Drugs
Angelina Jolie, The Tourist
Julianne Moore, The Kids Are All Right
Emma Stone, Easy A
(Note – I will be shocked if anyone other than Annette wins)
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Christian Bale, The Fighter
Michael Douglas, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
Andrew Garfield, The Social Network
Jeremy Renner, The Town
Geoffrey Rush, The King's Speech
(Note – I would love for Andrew to win this one - I just think he was fantastic in TSN - but it is Bale’s to lose. I mean have you seen what he did to his body for this role? That’s dedication.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Amy Adams, The Fighter
Helena Bonham Carter, The King's Speech
Mila Kunis, Black Swan
Melissa Leo, The Fighter
Jacki Weaver, Animal Kingdom
(Note: This one really could go any way. I can see any one of the nominees walking away the winner (save, maybe, Mila). Melissa gets my vote though simply because I love her and think she’s fantastic in pretty much everything she does.)
BEST SCREENPLAY
Danny Boyle and Simon Beaufoy, 127 Hours
Lisa Cholodenko and Stuart Blumberg, The Kids Are All Right
Christopher Nolan, Inception
David Seidler, The King's Speech
Aaron Sorkin, The Social Network
(Note – I will be shocked and amazed if TSN doesn’t win)
BEST SCORE
Alexandre Desplat, The King's Speech
Danny Elfman, Alice in Wonderland
A.R. Rahman, 127 Hours
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, The Social Network
Hans Zimmer, Inception
(Note – While I love TSN’s score, and anything Desplat does is gold I think this is the category that goes to Inception.)
BEST SONG
"Bound to You", Burlesque
"Coming Home", Country Strong
"I See the Light", Tangled
"There's a Place for Us", The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
"You Haven't Seen the Last of Me", Burlesque
(Note – That trip to Vegas has got to pay off somehow…..)
BEST ANIMATED PICTURE
Despicable Me
How to Train Your Dragon
Illusionist
Tangled
Toy Story 3
(Note – I almost went for Tangled on this one. The HFPA seems to have a soft spot for Disney, and they like to go against the grain in at least one category. I could see this one being the being the one they use as an “upset”.)
BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE PICTURE
Biutiful, Mexico/Spain
The Concert, France
The Edge, Russia
I Am Love, Italy
In a Better World, Denmark
(Note – I almost picked I Am Love for the win, but in the end went with Biutiful solely because of Javier Bardem’s performance.)
TV Awards
BEST TV DRAMA
Boardwalk Empire
Dexter
The Good Wife
Mad Men
The Walking Dead
(Note – It’s the “new thing”)
BEST TV COMEDY/MUSICAL SERIES
30 Rock
Big Bang Theory
Bic C
Glee
Modern Family
Nurse Jackie
(Note – I’ll be fine with a win for anything in this category as long as it doesn’t go to Glee. I will revolt if Glee wins. What a difference a year makes.)
BEST TV DRAMA ACTOR
Steve Buscemi, Boardwalk Empire
Bryan Cranston, Breaking Bad
Michael C. Hall, Dexter
Jon Hamm, Mad Men
Hugh Laurie, House
(Note – I picked Jon Hamm simply because he has had such a great year; can easily see it going to Steve Buscemi though.)
BEST TV DRAMA ACTRESS
Julianna Marguiles, The Good Wife
Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men
Piper Perabo, Covert Affairs
Katy Sagal, Sons of Anarchy
Kyra Sedgwick, The Closer
(Note – I’ll be pretty shocked it Julianna doesn’t win this one again)
BEST TV COMEDY/MUSICAL ACTOR
Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock
Steve Carell, The Office
Thomas Jayne, Hung
Matthew Morrison, Glee
Jim Parsons, The Big Bang Theory
(Note – Um, where’s Danny McBride for Eastbound & Down? Baldwin & Carell are great, admittedly, but they haven’t done anything new with their characters for a long time now. Hung sucks. Like unwatchable sucks. Matthew Morrison is a big part of why I hate Glee so much now. Considering this is the list I have to work with I’ll take Parsons for the win.)
BEST TV COMEDY/MUSICAL ACTRESS
Toni Collette, The United States of Tara
Edie Falco, Nurse Jackie
Tina Fey, 30 Rock
Laura Linney, The Big C
Lea Michele, Glee
(Note – As long as it’s anyone other than Lea Michele. No, really. The amount of disdain I have for that girl is ridiculous.)
BEST TV MOVIE/MINISERIES
Carlos
The Pacific
Pillars of the Earth
Temple Grandin
You Don't Know Jack
(Note – I could see this one possibly going to Temple Grandin, but I have to say I will honestly be shocked if The Pacific loses.)
BEST TV MOVIE/MINISERIES ACTOR
Idris Elba, Luther
Ian McShane, Pillars of the Earth
Al Pacino, You Don't Know Jack
Dennis Quaid, The Special Relationship
Edgar Ramirez, Carlos
(Note – It’s Al Pacino. You can’t not pick him. Although I have to say that I am really sad that Eddie Redmayne didn’t get a nomination for his work in Pillars of the Earth. Major oversight on the HFPA’s part. Although, I guess I shouldn’t really be that surprised. After all they are the ones who nominated Jennifer Love Hewitt in a Lifetime: Movie of the Week role.)
BEST TV MOVIE/MINISERIES ACTRESS
Hayley Atwell, Pillars of the Earth
Claire Danes, Temple Grandin
Judi Dench, Return to Cranford
Romola Garai, Emma
Jennifer Love Hewitt, The Client List
(Note – I don’t see anyone other than the former Angela Chase walking away with this win. Also, I propose the HFPA enact a new rule: no Lifetime: Movie of the Week shall be eligible. Ever. The fact that JLH is nominated is just simply laughable. No, really, I laughed for about 10 minutes straight the morning the nominations were made and her name was announced.)
BEST TV SUPPORTING ACTOR
Scott Caan, Hawaii Five-O
Chris Colfer, Glee
Chris Noth, The Good Wife
Eric Stonestreet, Modern Family
David Strathairn, Temple Grandin
(Note – For as much as I now dislike Glee and absolutely loathe that one bitch, I still love Kurt. And Chris Colfer is just so adorable and earnest. I want him to win just so I can watch his acceptance speech. I could also see a David Strathairn win though.)
BEST TV SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Hope Davis, The Special Relationship
Jane Lynch, Glee
Kelly Macdonald, Boardwalk Empire
Julia Stiles, Dexter
Sofia Vergara, Modern Family
(Note – I originally had Jane Lynch here, but I don’t know that the HFPA goes back-to-back Glee for supporting.)
