11 Golden Globe Predictions!

The Golden Globe Nominees came out today!

So we thought we’d share with you our picks. How did we reach these conclusions? We jumped!

Here are the our top 11 categories along with our predictions on who’ll take home the globe:

1. Motion picture, drama

“Carol” 94
“Mad Max: Fury Road” 97
“The Revenant” 83
“Room” 96
“Spotlight” 98

Mix Predicts: “Spotlight” will take home the Golden Globe!

Why? It tells the story of how the Boston Globe uncovered the Catholic church’s child molestation and cover-up scandal. It’s a story that hits you right in the feels, and no one has told it yet.

2. Motion picture, comedy

“The Big Short” 86
“Joy” 55
“The Martian” 93
“Spy” 93
“Trainwreck” 85

Mix Predicts: “The Martian” will take home the Golden Globe!

Why? Remember when people thought it was based on a TRUE story? They managed to make a movie so realistic that it fooled half of the audience into thinking it actually happened, we’d say that’s some good storytelling.

Speaking of Why.. WHY is “The Martian” in the comedy category?

3. Actress in a motion picture, comedy

Jennifer Lawrence, “Joy”
Melissa McCarthy, “Spy”
Amy Schumer, “Trainwreck”
Maggie Smith, “The Lady in the Van”

Mix Predicts: Lily Tomlin will take home the Golden Globe!

Why? This role is perfect for Lily Tomlin, her character is so boisterous, that if it were anyone else… you’d hate it. But Lily manages to make it hilarious.

4. Actor in a motion picture, comedy

Christian Bale, “The Big Short”
Steve Carell, “The Big Short”
Matt Damon, “The Martian”

Queen Latifah, “Bessie”
Felicity Huffman, “American Crime”
Sarah Hay, “Flesh and Bone”
Lady Gaga, “American Horror Story: Hotel”

Why? It’s the first time in a long time that she’s had a chance to show how much she’s capable of, she’s larger than life in this role.

11. Actor in a TV movie or limited series

Oscar Isaac, “Show Me a Hero”
Patrick Wilson, “Fargo”
Idris Elba, “Luther”
