A Dim Crystal Ball

With the Golden Globe winners set to be announced tonight at a news conference (rather than the traditional boozy party) it's time for me to predict the winners of the 14 movie awards.

I saw all of the nominees accept five which are no longer in the theater and aren't available on DVD. The five I did not see are:

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
The Brave One
Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Grace is Gone
Love in the Time of Cholera

So here are my predictions of who will win (this is not who I think SHOULD win, but simply who I think WILL win):

Best Motion Picture -- Drama: Atonement

Best Performance by an Actress -- Drama: Angelina Jolie/A Mighty Heart

Best Performance by an Actor -- Drama: Daniel Day-Lewis/There Will Be Blood

Best Motion Picture -- Musical or Comedy: Sweeney Todd

Best Performance by an Actress -- Musical or Comedy: Helena Bonham Carter/Sweeney Todd

Best Performance by an Actor -- Musical or Comedy: Johnny Depp/Sweeney Todd

Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role: Amy Ryan/Gone Baby Gone

Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role: Javier Bardem/No Country for Old Men

Best Animated Feature: The Simpsons Movie

Best Foreign Language Film: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

Best Director: Julian Schnabel/The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

Best Screenplay: No Country for Old Men

Best Original Score: Atonement

Best Original Song: Guaranteed/Into the Wild
