Golden Globes night is almost there and it comes with a lot of expectations surrounding its winners choices. If the nominees shortlists were, in fact, a kind of a letdown considering how the HFPA didn't quite embrace diversity as I was expecting it to do considering how it should try to prove the world it is a different (and more diverse) organization now.
So, a few notes about some categories: I do believe Best Motion Picture - Drama will be between The Fabelmans and Elvis, but the later seems to have a more passionate fanbase and it is a box-office hit biopic (but we have the box-office titans Avatar: The Way of Water and Top Gun: Maverick also contending and the trifeca winning Tár also in the run, so it feels like anyone's game); Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama can go in many different ways, but the HFPA usually go for either fresh new female actresses or titanic acting veterans, which makes me believe it will be a Ana de Armas vs. Cate Blanchett... but I expect Blanchett to prevail (the HFPA has always loved her and her performance is sublime); the supporting actress field is a mess, but I would say Jamie Lee Curtis will benefit from the love surrounding her film and win for Everything Everywhere All at Once; Best Original Score is also anyone's game and while Babylon's score is rich and loud (quite "Golden Globes tyle"), I believe there's much of an undeniable beauty in Women Talking's so I will go for that one; the final note regards Netflix's chances here since I consider Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio will win Best Animated Feature, I could see the streaming giant also winning Best Foreign Language Film for All Quiet on the Western Front, but there's also a lot of love for RRR and Decision to Leave... it's a though call, but... I guess I will go for whishful thinking and go for Decision to Leave.
So, here are my predictions for the Golden Globes 2023 winners for the motion picture categories:
