This years Golden Globes feel unlike any other, mostly due to the Covid-19 pandemic but also due to the huge scandals breaking about the lack of diversity and dishonesty within the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. However, despite all of this, these awards hold a lot of weight in the industry and here I will break down my official predictions.
I will say who I think will win, who could be the biggest challenger, and then who should win. The ‘should win’ will be specifically from the five nominees, and not include other films/actors who I believe should’ve been nominated in the first place.
Would love to hear everyone else’s thoughts ahead of the show and please let me know on social media or in the comments.
