Golden Globes 2011 - Predictions By Zennie62

For the first time, I decided to share my movie awards predictions for the Golden Globes via video.

The Golden Globes airs this Sunday and my plan is to watch it from the comfy confines of the Balboa Theater in San Francisco. Gary Meyer's done a great job in keeping The Balboa "relevant" during tough times for theaters.

But I digress.

My choices for the major Golden Globes awards are these:

For Best Picture Drama, The Social Network. The picture's gained so much acclaim it's hard to see what can block it from an eventual Oscar Best Picture.

Best Performance by an Actress - Nicole Kidman in Rabbit Hole. I can't see Natalie Portman getting this one, but on the other hand, stranger things have happened.

Best Performance by an Actor - I picked Colin Firth for The King's Speech, but Jesse Eisenberg could steal this one for his role as Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network. If you've ever met Mark, Jesse's dead on him. But my feeling is Colin gets the nod here.

Best Motion Picture, Comedy Or Musical - The Kids Are All Right. Not my favorite, but it's what I think the Golden Globes will do.

Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture, Comedy Or Musical - Annette Bening and for The Kids Are All Right. It's hard to pick against Hollywood royalty here.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture, Comedy Or Musical - I picked Johnny Depp for The Tourist, and I'm sticking to it, even in the face of my real favorite, Kevin Spacey in Casino Jack.

Best Performance by an Actress In A Supporting Role - Helena Bonham Carter, who's received much praise for The King's Speech.

Best Performance by an Actor In A Supporting Role - I can't see Michael Douglas not landing this. That would be a shock. Personally, his performance as a softer Gordon Gekko was perfect. But his battle with cancer, and victory, is worthy of celebration in this way.

That's it. Let's check in Sunday night and compare notes.
