My Golden Globes Picks 2016

This year, Ricky Gervais returns to host and offend. Here are my predictions for the always erratic Golden Globes. (Things I've seen already in bold)

Film

Best Picture (Drama): Mad Max: Fury Road
Best Actor (Drama): Leonardo DiCaprio from The Revenant
Best Actress (Drama): Saoirse Ronan from Brooklyn
Best Picture (Comedy/Musical): The Big Short
Best Actor (Comedy/Musical): Matt Damon from The Martian
Best Actress (Comedy/Musical): Amy Schumer from Trainwreck
Best Supporting Actor: Sylvester Stallone from Creed
Best Supporting Actress: Alicia Vikander from Ex Machina
Best Director: Ridley Scott for The Martian
Best Screenplay: Steve Jobs
Best Animated Feature: Inside Out
Best Foreign Language Film: Son of Saul from Hungary
Best Score: Carol
Best Song: One Kind of Love from Love & Mercy

Result: A dismal 6/14...who knew The Revenant would sweep like it did? I am very happy for Kate Winslet from Steve Jobs getting a well-deserved win.

TV

Drama Series: Mr. Robot
Best Actor (Drama): Rami Malek from Mr. Robot
Best Actress (Drama): Taraji P. Henson from Empire
Comedy Series: Transparent
Best Actor (Comedy): Aziz Ansari from Master of None
Best Actress (Comedy): Lily Tomlin from Grace and Frankie
TV Movie/Limited Series: Wolf Hall
Best Actor (TV Movie): Oscar Isaac from Show Me a Hero
Best Actress (TV Movie): Kirsten Dunst from Fargo
Best Supporting Actor: Ben Mendelsohn from Bloodline
Best Supporting Actress: Regina King from American Crime

Result: An even worse 4/11 for a total of 10/25...The TV categories were really quite out there. I am proud that I called Wolf Hall and Oscar Isaac, but I really should have seen Lady Gaga from American Horror Story coming. And look at the CW with two Best Actress in a Comedy wins in a row for different shows. Who would have ever guessed that?
