Joan and Melissa Get their Globe On: 2010 - with RESULTS (1/16/10)



 The Golden Globes will be airing this weekend. So, in preparation, here is a breakdown of the nominees and who we think will win and why. Buckle up.
REVISED 1/16/10 -- RESULTS.

Best Motion Picture, Drama

Joan: This is a toss up between Precious and Up in the Air. Oscar is much fonder of war/military movies than the Globes, so I'm counting out The Hurt Locker and Inglourious Basterds. Avatar -- doubtful.
Show's ya how much I know.

Best Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical

Joan: Wow, The Hangover. Really? Nine? Hmm. Proof the Globes LOVE Daniel Day Lewis. I'm going with either of the Streep choices.
THE HANGOVER???? WTF???? I, uh. I -- just ... there.are.no.words.

Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama

Joan: Jeff Bridges is getting a lot of buzz for his role in Crazy Heart. But, I think this one's going to Clooney. From the initial reviews, this role has been consistently considered monumental -- proving he's got acting chops as well as star appeal.
Oh, boy. If this is a precursor, looks like Clooney won't be getting the Oscar.

Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama

Joan: I'm going with Sidibe on this. While Bullock got a lot of great reviews for her portrayal, Sidibe is a newcomer and Globe loves newcomers. Not to mention, it's universally agreed on that Sidibe was a force to be reckoned with in Precious.
Sidibe was robbed!

Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture

Joan: It's between Tucci and Waltz. Tucci may well win, for his total resume. He's been unrecognized for his body of work these many years. It's just a shame this is the role that will do it for him.

Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture

Joan: While Farmiga and Kendrick will battle it out for Up in the Air, this one clearly goes to Mo'Nique. Hands down. 

Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Comedy

Joan: Shoe in -- Robert Downey Jr. And, if he doesn't win -- then he was robbed.
FINALLLLLLLYYYYYY!!!!!

Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Comedy

Joan: It's either Streep or Streep here, folks. While Bullock was great in The Proposal, she just doesn't stand a chance in this, Meryl Streep's best year yet. She was amazing in both roles, but will most likely get the Globe for Julie and Julia. 

Best Television Series, Drama

Joan: Ugh, this one's rough. Considering all the friggin' hype this year over vampires -- it just might go to True Blood. God forbid.
Phew... That was a close call. 

Best Televison Series, Comedy or Musical

Joan: Globe loves a fledgling series -- especially if it's flailing. It's gonna be Glee. 

Best Actor in a Television Series, Drama

Joan: I don't know why, exactly, but I'm thinking this year -- it's Bill Paxton. (Even if he is one of the worst actors in creation.)
Bill Paxton??? WTF was I thinking?

Best Actress in a Television Series, Drama

Joan: There may be a special Globe presented for the space between Anna Paquin's front teeth. While she actually has a shot at this, based solely on the popularity of that God-awful series, it's only right that Glenn Close should bring the Globe home, based on merit.
I'm just happy Anna Paquin didn't win. 

Best Actor in a Television Series, Comedy or Musical

Joan: Globe is fascinated with David Duchovny. I just don't get it. He won two years in a row and is nominated yet again. I'm beginning to think that there's something nefarious going on here. If all is right with the world, then Alec Baldwin will win. And rightly so. 

Best Actress in a Television Series, Comedy or Musical

Joan: Possibly Toni. Better off with Tina.

Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television

Joan: Lithgow was killed off last season, correct me if I'm wrong here. He may just get the award because there won't be another opportunity to recognize his truly creepy portrayal of Dexter's nemesis. Though, I'd love to see Niel Patrick Harris win. 

Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television

Joan: Oh, how I'd love to see Jane Lynch get this.I sincerely hope she does, as recognition for her amazing career. A truly funny woman.
WOW - JANE LYNCH WAS ROBBED! ROBBED, I TELL YA.
