Golden Globes 2013 predictions
The Golden Globes 2013 nominations will be announced early Thursday morning. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has often been accused of catering to the stars, i.e., the Golden Globe nominees are those who should look best in a tuxedo or an evening gown, and who would lure the most television viewers. That accusation is both fair and unfair.
True, for the Golden Globe voters, it’s all about the party. But really, are the SAG Awards, the Oscars, and most of the North American critics’ groups all that different? (Critics’ associations may not always throw parties, but they do want to be noticed during awards — read: Oscar — season. That’s a key reason why Jennifer Lawrence and Jessica Chastain will be mentioned infinitely more often than, say, Middle of Nowhere‘s Emayatzy Corinealdi or In Another Country‘s Isabelle Huppert. In fact, Corinealdi and Huppert will be lucky if they get mentioned at all, it seems.)
Anyhow, below are my last-minute Golden Globes 2013 predictions in a handful of film categories. Now, bear in mind that a) non-English-language films are only rarely nominated in categories other than Best Foreign Language Film b) at times six or even seven nominees are announced in a category because of ties c) performers in little-seen movies almost invariably go nomination-less (and there go the chances of, say, Emayatzy Corinealdi and Smashed‘s Mary Elizabeth Winstead, while the chances for Quvenzhané Wallis and the star-less Beasts of the Southern Wild are a bit iffy).
