We offered you a space to share your Screen Actors’ Guild and Golden Globe predictions yesterday — but since the majority of you had only SAG on the brain then, here’s another chance for you to spitball the Globes list. They’re always a fun lot predict, mostly because of the comedy/musical categories: even with a stronger field of industry favorites in the running this year, there’s still plenty of room for them to throw in a star-baiting head-scratcher. Julia Roberts in “Larry Crowne?” Johnny Depp in “The Rum Diary?” Take your pick.
I’ve set the ball rolling with my own predictions across all their film categories. One doesn’t need a crystal ball to tell that “The Artist” is set to have another strong morning: I’m expecting it to top the list with six nods, while the Best Drama category looks rather modest by comparison. Will “War Horse,” “Hugo” and “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” bounce back after being totally blanked in today’s SAG list? And why do I have a funny feeling that “Drive” could spring a surprise here? Take a look at my best guesses after the jump, and share yours in the comments.
