The Hottest Nominees for Golden Globes 2020

As the year comes to a finish, it’s official, the Golden Globes nominees are out, and the competition is fiercer than ever. While the lineup still needs to work on representation in some cases, for the most part there are some stellar Golden Globe 2020 nominations. Here are some of our predictions (and who we’re secretly rooting for). Who will take home that coveted award in their category?

Best Motion Picture — Drama

There are several amazing contenders for Best Drama, and it’s a tricky tie between The Irishman and Joker. Marriage Story was a poignant, indie-style flick from the talented man who brought us The Squid and the whale, but the other two contenders are behemoths in terms of plot, writing, and cast. These two films are also nominated for Best Director – Motion Picture, and we thing the Scorsese flick just might have that one in the bag.

Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy

Many are rooting for the Elton John bio-pic Rocketman, while others are more skeptical about choices like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. However, we know Quentin Tarantino to be a Golden Globe top choice, so it’s up in the air. Our favorite pick would have to be Dolemite Is My Name, a hilarious Eddie Murphy comeback (based on a wild true story) that had us cackling all the way through the end.

Best Television Series — Drama

We know several obsessed fans when it comes to The Crown, especially anyone who closely follows the royal family. However, the cat and mouse female espionage show that is Killing Eve deserves a definite win. It would certainly put a smile on every feminist’s face as we come into the new year. Big Little Lies is also strong on the female mystery forefront and with such a heavy hitter cast list, this show is a strong contender as well.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Limited Series or Movie

While Catch 22 appeals to our teenage nostalgia (and a super cute Christopher Abbot), Sacha Baron Cohen’s performance in The Spy was breathtaking. Anyone who might have doubted the Borat creator’s non-comedic chops has their foot in their mouth right about now. Sam Rockwell in Fosse/Verdon is also a possibility, as this actor always knocks it out of the park.
