Golden Globe Predictions 2014

It's my favourite time of year again, award season and the Globes is one of my favourites!

These are all of my guesses as to who will win on the big day:



MOTION PICTURES
Best Drama
12 Years a Slave
Captain Phillips
Gravity
Philomena
Rush

Why:  Because I think that 12 Years A Slave is going to be this years Titanic, Slumdog Millionaire and the Artist etc.
 
Best Musical/Comedy
American Hustle
Her
Inside Lleweyn Davis
Nebraska
The Wolf of Wall Street

Why: Most star power and the Globes usally go for those films in the Musical/Comedy section.

Best Director
Alfonso Cuaron, Gravity
Paul Greengrass, Captain Phillips
Steve McQueen, 12 Years a Slave
Alexander Payne, Nebraska
David O. Russell, American Hustle

Why:  Because I think that 12 Years A Slave is going to be this years Titanic, Slumdog Millionaire and the Artist etc.

Best Actress in a Drama
Cate Blanchett, Blue Jasmine
Sandra Bullock, Gravity
Judi Dench, Philomena
Emma Thompson, Saving Mr. Banks
Kate Winslet, Labor Day

Why: I would normally go for  the Aussie Cate but I really hope Emma Thompson wins from everything I had seen of Saving Mr. Banks I think she has a chance.

Best Actor in a Drama
Chiwetel Ejiofor, 12 Years a Slave
Idris Elba, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom
Tom Hanks, Captain Phillips
Matthew McConaughey, Dallas Buyer’s Club
Robert Redford, All Is Lost

Why: Love Matthew McConaughey, hes had a really good year with film and I think he had done enough to take this one.

Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy
Christian Bale, American Hustle
Bruce Dern, Nebraska
Leonardo Di Caprio, The Wolf of Wall Street
Oscar Isaac, Inside Llewyn Davis
Joaquin Phoenix, Her

Why: I think he deserves it for doing something different, I mean how hard is it to pretend you are in love with a voice.

Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy
Amy Adams, American Hustle
Julie Delpy, Before Midnight

Bradley Cooper, American Hustle
Michael Fassbender, 12 Years a Slave

Best Foreign Language Film

Best Score
Alex Ebert, All Is Lost
Alex Heffes, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom
Steven Price, Gravity
John Williams, The Book Thief

Blogging in and out

I love blogging I wish I did it more!  But I can not really decide what this blog will be about.  I like going many different things at many different times.

I think I might just wing it like I usally do.

By the way...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I have another blog where I am posting a picture a day everyday in 2014. 

365 Days of 2014

Check it out.  1 week in and so far so good :)

P.S: To me this is a massive personal achievement.  I have finally beaten Level 65 on Candy Crush.  Now I do not have the fiery urge to play the game... Oh well...
