Golden Globe Predictions

Here are the nominees for the Golden Globes 2011. *-indicates my prediction.

Movies:

• Black Swan*
• The Fighter
• Inception
• The King’s Speech
• The Social Network

The King's Speech is the Oscar fave, but I think Darren Aronofsky has the brilliance. 

Best Picture – Musical or Comedy

• Alice in Wonderland
• Burlesque
• The Kids Are All Right*
• Red
• The Tourist

Angelina Jolie? Burlesque and Alice in Wonderland are contenders but I'm going with Ruffalo.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama

• Jesse Eisenberg, The Social Network
• Colin Firth, The King’s Speech
• James Franco, 127 Hours
• Ryan Gosling, Blue Valentine*
• Mark Wahlberg, The Fighter

Tough Category. All these men are brilliant actors. I'd like to see Whalberg or Eisenberg win, and while Firth is the Oscar favorite, I'm going with Gosling.

Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama

• Halle Berry, Frankie & Alice
• Nicole Kidman, Rabbit Hole
• Jennifer Lawrence, Winter’s Bone
• Natalie Portman, Black Swan*
• Michelle Williams, Blue Valentine

Kidman and Williams are big contenders but Portman has it.

Anne Hathaway would be a pleasant surprise.
