My oh my but awards season is speeding up. Today ballots go out to the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Assocation. Better known as those crazies that give out the Golden Globes. We adore the Globes here at TFE because if you look back at their history many great films and performances and TV series have won that were never honored at the Oscars or Emmys, particularly those of the comic or musical persuasion.
10 dream nominations we're rooting for, however likely or unlikely after the jump...
1. Crazy Rich Asians and A Simple Favor for Best Picture, Comedy or Musical
2. Toni Collette (Hereditary) and Nicole Kidman (Destroyer) both in Best Actress, Drama because we need some Aussie Actress power celebrated especially since Oscar might stiff them...
3. Two or all three actresses from The Favourite in Best Actress, Comedy or Musical just to freak people out and because the Globes is the only organization that still sometimes rejects category fraud.
4. Burning AND Shoplifters for Foreign Film since Asian movies need all the media pushing they can get to convince Oscar to nominate them.
5. Michael B Jordan in Black Panther for Best Supporting Actor
6. LaKeith Stanfield in Sorry to Bother You for Best Actor, Comedy. That category seems bereft of options so please let them do cool things with it. Actually let's give them suggestions in the comments. WHO SHOULD BE NOMINATED FOR BEST ACTOR, COMEDY OR MUSICAL. Go!
7. An unexpectedly strong showing across the board for Can You Ever Forgive Me?
8. A shocking nomination somewhere for Disobedience (score or supporting actor) or Tully (actress or screenplay)
9. A supporting actress nomination for Elizabeth Debicki in Widows since we need her 6'2¾" gorgeousity towering over lesser mortals on the red carpet
10. Spike Lee for Best Director just to stick it to Oscar and remind them that the Globes were rambunctious and savvy enough to nominate him for Best Director for Do the Right Thing (1989)
