Golden Globe 2019 Predictions
It's that time of year again, the time where the best and brightest in film and television are celebrated and receive the recognition they deserve.  I love this time of year, and it kicks off tonight with the Golden Globe Awards.

Here are my predictions on who will win each category, although I have no clue about the television categories because I don't watch too many shows.  It's the films I most look forward to.

FILM

BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM
Capernaum
Girl
Never Look Away
Roma
Shoplifters

Hopefully Roma gets the win here, as it's easily one of the best films I saw all year.  Granted, I never saw the others, but this one was so amazing it'd be a shame for it to get neglected by voters who don't consider Netflix movies as real movies.




BEST ANIMATED FEATURE
Incredibles 2
Isle of Dogs
Mirai
Ralph Breaks the Internet
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

As much as I would love to see Isle of Dogs win (or even Spider-Verse), never count out Pixar's winning power, and see Incredibles 2 take the win.



BEST SONG
All the Stars (Black Panther)
Girl in the Movies (Dumplin)
Requiem for a Private War (A Private War)
Revelation (Boy Erased)
Shallow (A Star is Born)

The most sure bet the entire night, Lady Gaga will easily get the win here.



BEST SCORE
Marco Beltrami (A Quiet Place)
Alexandre Desplat (Isle of Dogs)
Ludwig Goransson (Black Panther)
Justin Hurwitz (First Man)
Marc Shaiman (Mary Poppins Returns)

What made First Man so incredible is its amazing score, and I see Hurwitz getting recognized for it.



BEST SCREENPLAY
Alfonso Cuaron (Roma)
Debra Davis/Tony McNamara (The Favourite)
Peter Farrelly, Nick Vallelonga, Brian Currie (Green Book)
Barry Jenkins (If Beale Street Could Talk)
Adam McKay (Vice)

Again, if the voters can get over Roma being a Netflix movie, Cuaron easily deserves this recognition.  Otherwise, I think Jenkins will win it.



BEST DIRECTOR
Bradley Cooper (A Star is Born)
Alfonso Cuaron (Roma)
Peter Farrelly (Green Book)
Spike Lee (BlacKkKlansman)
Adam McKay (Vice)

Broken record here, but again if the voters can recognize a Netflix film, then Cuaron will win.  Otherwise, it'll probably go to Cooper.



BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Amy Adams (Vice)
Claire Foy (First Man)
Regina King (If Beale Street Could Talk)
Emma Stone (The Favourite)
Rachel Weisz (The Favourite)

Typically if more than one person is nominated, they cancel each other out, so I feel Amy Adams' portrayal of Lynne Cheney will win out tonight.



BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Mahershala Ali (Green Book)
Timothee Chalamet (Beautiful Boy)
Adam Driver (BlacKkKlansman)
Richard E. Grant (Can You Ever Forgive Me)
Sam Rockwell (Vice)

While I personally would love Chalamet to take it, it seems like Mahershala Ali will earn another Golden Globe for his performance in Green Book.



BEST ACTRESS COMEDY/MUSICAL
Emily Blunt (Mary Poppins Returns)
Olivia Colman (The Favourite)
Elsie Fisher (Eighth Grade)
Charlize Theron (Tully)
Constance Wu (Crazy Rich Asians)

I feel this will come down to either Emily Blunt or Olivia Colman, and with having a period piece on her side, I see Colman rightfully earning this award.



BEST ACTOR COMEDY/MUSICAL
Christian Bale (Vice)
Lin-Manuel Miranda (Mary Poppins Returns)
Viggo Mortensen (Green Book)
Robert Redford (The Old Man & the Gun)
John C. Reilly (Stan & Ollie)

Much like "Shallow" earning Best Song, it seems very likely that Christian Bale will receive his just due for his amazing performance in Vice.



BEST FILM COMEDY/MUSICAL
Crazy Rich Asians
The Favourite
Green Book
Mary Poppins Returns
Vice

It'll be a fight between Vice and The Favourite, but I see Adam McKay's satirical look at the life of Dick Cheney taking home the win.



BEST ACTRESS DRAMA
Glenn Close (The Wife)
Lady Gaga (A Star is Born)
Nicole Kidman (Destroyer)
Melissa McCarthy (Can You Ever Forgive Me)
Rosamund Pike (A Private War)

This one also seems like a foregone conclusion, with anyone other than Lady Gaga taking home the statue being a huge upset.



BEST ACTOR DRAMA
Bradley Cooper (A Star is Born)
Willem Dafoe (At Eternity's Gate)
Lucas Hedges (Boy Erased)
Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody)
John David Washington (BlacKkKlansman)

While I personally would love Hedges to win, it'll come down to Bradley Cooper and Rami Malek, with Malek's transformation into Freddie Mercury taking home the win.



BEST DRAMA
Black Panther
BlacKkKlansman
Bohemian Rhapsody
If Beale Street Could Talk
A Star is Born

While there could be a case made for any of these films winning, I feel it's A Star is Born's night to shine.



So we'll see if my predictions are correct tonight (surprisingly, I'm usually more wrong than right)!

Major Theatrical Releases May 2019

Major Theatrical Releases May 2019 After the hype that is "Avengers: Endgame," May offers a massive collection of differing types of movies, enough to entertain everyone. Here are the major theatrical releases for May 2019. **THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS** **DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE**  The Intruder May 3 Dennis Quaid goes from starring the family-friendly "A Dog's Journey" to playing a total psycho in "The Intruder."  When a young couple purchases a home from Quaid's character Charlie, they didn't realize it came with an addition - Charlie himself, who can't seem to let his old home go.  I don't expect any twists or turns in this tale, and this looks like a film better fit for Lifetime than the big screen.  Long Shot May 3 Charlize Theron stars as Charlotte Field, the current Secretary of State and who's running for President.  Seth Rogen stars as Fred Flarsky, a...

Witch

Witch Starring Russell Shaw, Ryan Spong, Sarah Alexandra Marks, Fabrizio Santino Directed by Craig Hinde & Marc Zammit Movies about witches are about a dime a dozen, and follow the same formula: typically set in a time period long ago (since now, fortunately, the stigma of witches has been lessened and the religious fervor has diminished), in a small Puritanical town, a girl is accused of witchcraft which spirals the town into a frenzy filled with suspicion, doubt, and murder until the witch is put to religious justice. While that's not necessarily a bad formula (Robert Eggers' "The VVitch" and Mario Bava's "Black Sunday" immediately come to mind), most films fall by the wayside. "Witch" is a small film that, at first glance, seems to follow the mold before completely shattering it in a second act twist that's daring, provocative, and works in a lot of levels, but could've been more pronounced if given a bigger budget. In the small ...

Special Review: "Midwest Sessions"

-
Image
Special Review: "Midwest Sessions" Directed by Mario Ricciardi Independent filmmaking is a fascinating concept, wherein the director and everyone involved sets out to make something unique, different, and go against the traditional status quo of what's defined as a "blockbuster." These films aren't usually seen by the masses and won't be included in the top ten highest grossing movies of all time, but they offer something those films don't: a heart and commitment by the people involved to craft something wholly distinctive that tell a story in their own way. Such is "Midwest Sessions," a local film directed by Mario Ricciardi that centers on the city of Youngstown, Ohio, and the captivating people who live there. Told in different vignettes that seem distinct and different from one another but coming together as a whole in the end, it's an engrossing film that utilizes its shoestring budget and gives great performances, decent effects a...
