"Best Comedy is gonna be filled from head to toe with eclectic hipster films at the Globes hehehehe"

 

Hold your horses there. While all of the films on that list are good for sure, we should remember that this is the Globes we are thinking about.

 

What I'm saying is this: last year, they gave Florence Foster Jenkins *four* nominations. That makes it seem like films such as Victoria & Abdul have a very good chance at being recognized here.

 

Does that mean we're in for an egregious snub? In the case of this competitive year, absolutely. But I really don't think the Globes are operating in the same vein as the new Oscar academy quite yet. To a certain extent, yes. But a 1:1 comparison? Not if Florence Foster Jenkins is anything to go by.

 

And yeah, Johnny Depp got nominated for playing the Mad Hatter that one year, but I still don't think Emma Watson can get in for playing Belle. There has to be a better candidate... right?

If GREATEST SHOWMAN gets decent enough reviews, I think this can sneak in to Best Comedy/Musical. They’ve never been able to resist even a mediocre musical movie. Disaster Artist is probably the most in danger of giving up its spot to it.

 

I would disagree on this, but slightly. The Disaster Artist is more of a clear-cut comedy than other films on the list. If anything, I think Get Out could miss on the basis that some voters will not view it as a comedy. I think they learned a valuable lesson when The Martian won, and I think they know that a win for Get Out has a chance of causing the same kind of backlash that The Martian caused. This is coming from someone that has yet to see Get Out (I have trouble getting myself to watch most rated-R films), but I'm not sure Globes voters are ready to embrace a horror comedy. This is a very controversial prediction, and a prediction that would be potentially detrimental to Get Out if it were to come to fruition, but if a film gets out, it might just be Get Out.

Honestly, I think Get Out might be the favorite to win. I don’t think it can go all the way at the Oscars, but it can here. It’s definitely more of a comedy than the Martian was, and it has had far more of a zeitgeist buzz than any of the other nominees, at least at this point. Definitely a bit too early to say, but I can easily see TDA being a bit too weird for Globe voters.

I really can't see Melissa Leo getting nominated for a film that literally no one cares about (Novitiate won't even make $500K at this point). I'm thinking the lack of diversity among this year's crop will be enough to propel Mary J. Blige into the last spot despite Netflix.

If Oldman hadn't been there I think Chalamet really could have won. He casually speaks not two but three languages in the movie, which the Academy has always had a hard-on for, and him popping up in both Lady Bird and Hostiles in addition adds quite a bit to a breakout-year narrative. 

 

Stuhlbarg and Hammer both should really benefit from lack of competition. The former's much talked about monologue definitely kills, but even there his performance is incredibly calm and lived-in, it doesn't feel like a "here comes the ACTING" moment in any way. Hammer doesn't really have any of those either. In a stronger year for the category I could see one or both missing out. For that reason I actually wouldn't be totally shocked if it missed SAG ensemble in favor of showier casts of, say, Three Billboards/Shape of Water/The Post/I Tonya/The Disaster Artist/Mudbound, but then collected three acting Oscar nods anyway.

I don't think they'll go for Mudbound, if only to make a statement against films going direct to streaming (with the qualifying theatrical release).

Normally I would agree, but that last Supporting Actress slot is completely open, and I don't think a nomination for just Octavia Spencer is gonna be enough to prevent another #OscarsSoWhite outcry (especially when the most likely alternatives at the moment are the aforementioned Leo in a film that has zero traction and Hong Chau in Downsizing, which is looking to be a total nonstarter).

I think Kaluuya has an off-chance at a BA nom, depending on how much the academy bites for Get Out.

With All the Money in the World's AFI premiere looking likely to be scrapped, I wonder if one of the unseen contenders will swoop in and take its place as the closing night film. The Post probably won't, but maybe Phantom Thread will since it's finished?
