Last Minute Predictions: Golden Globes 2022 nominees

Golden Globes are tomorrow (I mean, it's already "today" in Portugal) and predicting the Golden Globe nominees are real fun!
  1. First, I expect to see the clear awards frontrunners to make the Best Motion Picture shortlists both in Drama or Comedy/Musical and they are: The Power of the Dog (Netflix), Belfast (Focus Features), King Richard (Warner Bros.), Dune (Warner Bros.), West Side Story (20th Century Studios) and Licorice Pizza (MGM).
  2. Second, the HFPA claims to be "renovated", so I believe they will pick more POC actors for the nominees shortlist in order to make the change they claim to be more "visible". And the same can be applied to female directors' projects.
  3. Third, they love musicals! And I am expecting a huge response to West Side Story since it is a movie that's aware of the racial issues of the Latinos community and it stars a killer POC cast. Plus, tick, tick... BOOM! and Cyrano have nice shots and maybe In the Heights might get an honorable nomination for Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical or for Anthony Ramos in Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical.
But...! To be honest, it is difficult to predict the Golden Globes, since we don't know how are this new HFPA preferences! So, here are my picks:

TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today - 2017

The almost annual TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today is out, with me considering the performers' performances of 2016 also. We have a few changes since last year's list, with Greta Gerwig toping the list thanks to her last 3 great performances in Mistress America , Maggie's Plan and the Oscar buzzy acting turn in 20th Century Women . Scarlett Johansson comes second with her latest distinguished performance being in 2014 ( Under the Skin ), but she managed to be at the spotligh this year thanks to her fine turns in critically acclaimed movies: Hail, Caesar! , Captain America: Civil War , The Jungle Book (voice) and Sing (voice). Emily Blunt adds another great performance to her resume in The Girl on the Train and she comes third, while Elle Fanning 's turning into one of the finest actresses and she's getting to play more adult and complex parts like The Neon Demon  and 20th Century Women 's (her two best performances since Super 8 ).

Now that the Fall film festival has passed, it's time to make some changes in the Oscar predictions charts: La bola negra is on a winning strike taking home the TIFF's People Choice Award; The movies I Play Rocky and Elsinore revealed themselves as huge crowd-pleasers and can be extremely viable Best Picture candidates; Neon's has found its big Oscar player (Luca Guadagnino's Artificial ) and Paper Tiger got more enthusiastic word from New York and London; the unexpected A24's documentary You Can See Everything is (currently) the most well-reviewed movie of the year and it's on track to become a truly unexpected box-office hit; Lee Chang-dong's Possible Love entered Best International Film race and it can have nice shots in screenplay and directing (according to reviews), suprassing the buzz of early favorites All of a Sudden and Fjord ; Digger is a bomb and not a promising Oscar vehicle; Sense and Sensibility is doing well with critics and it is project...
