Per le donne, eh eh.

Per i circuiti, oh oh.

With SAG set to hand out their nominations this coming Wednesday, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association will announce their nominations for the 2016 Golden Globes on Thursday.  This year, more than ever, we’ll be looking at both organizations to get indications of support for certain films and performances.  The HFPA has already corrected certain campaigns submitted by the studios which include Rooney Mara (“Carol”) and Alicia Vikander (“The Danish Girl”) being moved to Lead Actress in a Drama, Jason Segal (“The End of the Tour”) moving to Lead Actor in a Drama, “Trumbo” switching to Drama, and a few other key cases.

Unsure how this can shake things out, but after SAG announces on Wednesday, with no reported category switches named thus far, we’ll have to attempt to assume “business as usual” and see where the support lies.  Before anyone jumps up and down about omissions of certain films and performances, remember that the HFPA hardly ever has a 100% translation to Oscar.  Ricky Gervais will be back to host and that will probably be the most familiar thing we know going in.  Check out the final predictions below, including the television categories:

Hateful_Eight_Payoff_FINALBEST PICTURE (DRAMA)

  • Bridge of Spies” (DreamWorks)
  • Brooklyn” (Fox Searchlight Pictures)
  • The Hateful Eight” (The Weinstein Company)
  • The Revenant” (20th Century Fox)
  • Spotlight” (Open Road)

ALTERNATE: “Carol” (The Weinstein Company)

  • The HFPA do tend to lean towards foreign productions as seen with surprises like “Rush” but they can sometimes make cool choices.  Will we have more than five this year?

martian_poster_damonBEST PICTURE (MUSICAL OR COMEDY)

  • The Big Short” (Paramount Pictures)
  • Grandma” (Sony Pictures Classics)
  • Joy” (20th Century Fox)
  • The Martian” (20th Century Fox)
  • Trainwreck” (Universal Pictures)

ALTERNATE: “Spy” (20th Century Fox)

  • Mixed reviews for “Joy” won’t keep the HPFA back from pouncing.  A small film like “Grandma” could use this type of recognition but will the money-making “Spy” overtake it?

revenant1BEST ACTOR (DRAMA)

  • Johnny Depp – “Black Mass”
  • Leonardo DiCaprio – “The Revenant”
  • Michael Fassbender – “Steve Jobs”
  • Eddie Redmayne – “The Danish Girl”
  • Will Smith – “Concussion”

ALTERNATE: Bryan Cranston – “Trumbo”

  • Battle for the movie stars but is there a possibility for an indie player like Ian McKellen or Michael Caine to come up and steal a spot?

big_short_ver2BEST ACTOR (MUSICAL OR COMEDY)

  • Steve Carell – “The Big Short”
  • Bradley Cooper – “Burnt”
  • Matt Damon – “The Martian”
  • Robert DeNiro – “The Intern”
  • Al Pacino – “Danny Collins”

ALTERNATE: Bill Hader – “Trainwreck”

  • This is the category for the veteran leading men, hot actors in Hollywood, and anyone else they want to throw in the mix.  Is there a Chiwetel Ejiofor in “Kinky Boots” out there?

carol-posterBEST ACTRESS (DRAMA)

  • Cate Blanchett – “Carol”
  • Brie Larson – “Room”
  • Charlotte Rampling – “45 Years”
  • Saoirse Ronan – “Brooklyn”
  • Alicia Vikander – “The Danish Girl”

ALTERNATE: Rooney Mara – “Carol”

  • With category shifts for Mara and Vikander, are both making the cut?  Will it push out anyone else who will be campaigning there?  Can someone like Charlize Theron find some room?  Too many questions for this race.

joy_posterBEST ACTRESS (MUSICAL OR COMEDY)

  • Blythe Danner – “I’ll See You In My Dreams”
  • Jennifer Lawrence – “Joy”
  • Amy Schumer – “Trainwreck”
  • Maggie Smith – “The Lady in the Van”
  • Lily Tomlin – “Grandma”

ALTERNATE: Meryl Streep – “Ricki and the Flash”

  • It’s hard to believe I’m predicting a Meryl Streep miss but what a strong five it looks like ahead of her.  They could default to her easily and even megastar Sandra Bullock.

creed_ver2BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR

  • Paul Dano – “Love & Mercy”
  • Tom Hardy – “The Revenant”
  • Mark Ruffalo – “Spotlight”
  • Mark Rylance – “Bridge of Spies”
  • Sylvester Stallone – “Creed”

ALTERNATE: Michael Keaton – “Spotlight”

  • Taking a gamble on both “Spotlight” guys not making it but something is going to give in this race with Sly Stallone picking up steam.  Don’t be shocked if SAG and GG overlap by just Mark Rylance.

spotlight_ver2BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS

  • Elizabeth Banks – “Love & Mercy”
  • Jennifer Jason Leigh – “The Hateful Eight”
  • Rachel McAdams – “Spotlight”
  • Kristen Stewart – “Clouds of Sils Maria”
  • Kate Winslet – “Steve Jobs”

ALTERNATE: Jessica Chastain – “The Martian”

  • With Supporting players out, it gives Jennifer Jason Leigh all the room to stretch her legs and get on a stage but could Kate Winslet or Kristen Stewart ruin the party?

bridge_of_spies_ver3BEST DIRECTOR – MOTION PICTURE

  • Todd Haynes – “Carol”
  • Alejandro G. Inarritu – “The Revenant”
  • Tom McCarthy – “Spotlight”
  • Ridley Scott – “The Martian”
  • Quentin Tarantino – “The Hateful Eight”

ALTERNATE: Steven Spielberg – “Bridge of Spies”

  • They love their big name directors but they can often go the “lone” director route and I’m seeing a possible “Carol” in Picture or Haynes in Director.  Not both.

steve_jobsBEST SCREENPLAY

  • Brooklyn” – Nick Hornby
  • Carol” – Phyllis Nagy
  • The Hateful Eight” – Quentin Tarantino
  • Spotlight” – Tom McCarthy, Josh Singer
  • Steve Jobs” – Aaron Sorkin

ALTERNATE: “The Martian” – Drew Goddard

  • HFPA likes their big name writers and the frontrunners of each category but they may be swayed in a different direction this year.  “The Martian” nominated here would show considerable strength.

  • Anomalisa” (Paramount Pictures)
  • The Good Dinosaur” (Pixar)
  • Inside Out” (Pixar)
  • Minions” (Universal)
  • The Peanuts Movie” (20th Century Fox)

ALTERNATE: “Shaun the Sheep” (Lionsgate)

  • Pixar and Paramount death match.  Round 1.  Fight!

sicario_ver5BEST ORIGINAL SCORE

  • Roque Baños – “In the Heart of the Sea”
  • Carter Burwell – “Carol”
  • Ennio Morricone – “The Hateful Eight”
  • Jóhann Jóhannson – “Sicario”
  • Thomas Newman – “Bridge of Spies”

ALTERNATE: James Horner – “Southpaw”

  • Are they feeling sentimental for James Horner?  Can they recognize the brilliant, unsung work of Michael Brook in “Brooklyn?”

concussionBEST ORIGINAL SONG

  • Concussion” – “So Long”
  • Fifty Shades of Grey” – “Earned It”
  • The Hunting Ground” – “Til It Happens to You”
  • Love & Mercy” – “One Kind of Love”
  • Spectre” – “Writing on the Wall”

ALTERNATE: “Creed” – “Grip”

  • The bigger the artist behind the song, the more likely to pop up.  Sam Smith, Lady Gaga, Leon Bridges, The Weeknd, and Brian Wilson.  Looks done.

  • Goodnight Mommy” (Austria)

Per le vanità, ah ah, come direbbe Pacino Al, che speriamo nominino per Danny Collins, ih ih.
