Crystal Ball for the Globes

The Golden Globes air tomorrow night, and while I did not post about the nominees, I may as well speculate on who I think will win. It's always a fun, loose event, enjoyable to watch - and that was before they got Tina Fey and Amy Poehler to host. Twice.

So! Predictions! If I haven't followed a category with "should win", it means the win I predict is also the one I want. And, of course, movies only, since I know next to nothing about what goes on in the TV world...

DRAMA 
PICTURE: Gravity
should win: 12 Years a Slave
ACTOR: Matthew McConaughey, Dallas Buyers Club
should win: Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave) or Robert Redford (All is Lost)

COMEDY/MUSICAL 
PICTURE: American Hustle
ACTOR: Leonardo DiCaprio, The Wolf of Wall Street
should win: Oscar Isaac (Inside Llewyn Davis) or Joaquin Phoenix (Her)

The Follies of 2013!; or, Predicting Next Year's Oscars

Inspired by Nathaniel of The Film Experience,  every April, I -- and probably many other like-minded obsessives -- try to predict the Oscar nominees for next season. You may recall, I was the first to predict Bradley Cooper for a Best Actor nomination, something I cling to since (a) I mean, holy shit, I was right and people had doubts all the way to nomination morn, and (b) I was so very, very wrong about almost every other category.
