Well...I went 8-6 with my Golden Globes picks. Wasn't able to watch the show but I'm sure Tina Fey and Amy Poehler had their fair share of zingers, controversies and whatnot. Let's take a look at the winners and see what ones I got wrong.
BEST MOTION PICTURE - DRAMA: 'Boyhood'
COMMENT: Correctly picked. This movie has been seen as the heavy favorite before the ceremony and with this win I believe that solidified it as the front runner for Best Picture at the Oscars.
BEST MOTION PICTURE - COMEDY OR MUSICAL: 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'
COMMENT: I got this category wrong, having picked 'Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)'. Not gonna lie, even though I picked it I'm kinda glad that Birdman lost. 'Grand Budapest Hotel' is the better movie between the two anyway.
BEST ACTOR - DRAMA: Eddie Redmayne, 'The Theory of Everything'
COMMENT: Also got this incorrect, having picked Benedict Cumberbatch for 'The Imitation Game'. Redmayne winning this just ticks me off...mainly because of how much I disliked 'Theory of Everything'. Oh well. He probably won't win the Oscar if he's nominated.
BEST ACTOR - COMEDY OR MUSICAL: Michael Keaton, 'Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)'
COMMENT: Well I got this one right. Now since Eddie Redmayne also won Best Actor I'm hoping Michael Keaton wins the Oscar.
BEST ACTRESS - DRAMA: Julianne Moore, 'Still Alice'
COMMENT: I haven't even seen this movie. I only picked her because of all the Oscar front runner talk surrounding her role. And thankfully I got it right.
BEST ACTRESS - COMEDY OR MUSICAL: Amy Adams, 'Big Eyes'
COMMENT: A shot in the dark pick that ended up being correct. Mainly picked Amy Adams because she won this category last year and I know she's an awards season favorite.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: J.K. Simmons, 'Whiplash'
COMMENT: He's been the front runner for almost every Best Supporting Actor award and for good reason. If he doesn't win on Oscar night...that would be a shame.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Patricia Arquette, 'Boyhood'
COMMENT: Well, back to incorrect picks. I picked Meryl Streep for 'Into The Woods', for most of the same reasons why I picked Amy Adams for Best Actress. It was a shot in the dark but Streep is also an awards season favorite. Now I liked 'Boyhood' a lot, but I didn't care for Patricia Arquette's performance.
BEST DIRECTOR: Richard Linklater, 'Boyhood'
COMMENT: Once again, I picked who has been long thought to be the front runner for this award and it ended up paying off.
BEST ANIMATED FEATURE: 'How To Train Your Dragon 2'
COMMENT: WHAT!?!?!?!??!?!?!? HOW DID 'The LEGO Movie' LOSE TO THIS BORING SEQUEL?!?!?!?!?!?!? BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
BEST SCREENPLAY: 'Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)'
COMMENT: This really was a shot in the dark pick that surprisingly ended up being correct. Seriously, any of the nominees in this category had a fair shot at winning.
BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM: 'Leviathan'
COMMENT: Well...I haven't seen it but it was the one movie in this category that I heard the most about.
BEST ORIGINAL SCORE: 'The Theory of Everything'
COMMENT: Not gonna lie...I thought 'Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)' had this in the bag. But the fact that 'Theory of Everything' is winning awards is making me angry.
BEST ORIGINAL SONG: "Glory" from Selma, performed by Common and John Legend
COMMENT: My shot in the dark pick was "Big Eyes" from 'Big Eyes' performed by Lana Del Ray and I was incorrect. Having just listened to "Glory"...I wish it hadn't won. Nothing against Common or John Legend as artists, I just don't think it's all that good of a song.
