Now darlings, it’s the time of year when Awards Season begins and the first Major kicks off tomorrow night with The Golden Globe Awards. Now, the Globes is not just a warm up to The Holy Grail (a.k.a The Academy Awards), it’s entertaining show in it’s own right, not least because they give the nominees plenty of booze. Now Patsy has had a look in her crystal ball for tomorrow night, and if you’re a betting man or woman, bookie’s pencils at the ready – here’s a look at the main runners and riders tomorrow night – and who I think is going to take the spoils…
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama:
Anne Hathaway – Rachel Getting Married
Angelina Jolie – Changeling
Meryl Streep – Doubt
Kristin Scott Thomas – I’ve Loved You So Long
Kate Winslet – Revolutionary Road
Patsy’s Prediction: Anne Hathaway (Rachel Getting Married). We’ve already had the leak from the Golden Globe Website! But seriously, she’s the strongest contender for the title aside from Meryl, who she tied with at the CCG’s this week. I would prefer to see Meryl win this one, but the critics are going mad for Hathaway.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama:
Leonardo DiCaprio – Revolutionary Road
Frank Langella – Frost/Nixon
Sean Penn – Milk
Brad Pitt – The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button
Mickey Rourke – The Wrestler
Patsy’s Prediction: Mickey Rourke (The Westler). Everyone Stateside is raving about Mickey Rourke’s glorious turn as a pug in The Wrestler, and you know the Hollywood Foreign Press love a good comeback. Would like to see Frank Langella get this one for his superb performance as Tricky Dicky in Frost/Nixon, but I feel it’s Rourke’s year.
