Though Adams has never won an Oscar, she’s taken home two Golden Globes, including one for the largely forgotten Tim Burton film “Big Eyes.” In a year when Adams may have her strongest shot at the Academy Award, I suspect Globe voters will be inclined to throw their weight behind her.
Best Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture
Mahershala Ali, “Green Book”
Timothée Chalamet, “Beautiful Boy”
Adam Driver, “BlacKkKlansman”
Richard E. Grant, “Can You Ever Forgive Me?”
Sam Rockwell, “Vice”
Two years ago, when Ali picked up nearly every trophy under the sun for “Moonlight,” the Globes proved to be the outlier: Instead, the group gave its supporting-actor trophy to the “Nocturnal Animals” star Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who didn’t even make Oscar’s final five. This year should prove to be a make-good for Ali, considered the Oscar front-runner for what is practically a co-lead in “Green Book.”
Best Director — Motion Picture
Bradley Cooper, “A Star Is Born”
Alfonso Cuarón, “Roma”
Peter Farrelly, “Green Book”
Spike Lee, “BlacKkKlansman”
Adam McKay, “Vice”
Netflix hopes that “Roma” will be the streamer’s first nominee for best picture at the Oscars, but since it’s a foreign-language film, it wasn’t eligible for best drama at the Globes, according to H.F.P.A. rules. Still, the film was allowed to compete in most other categories, and while lead Yalitza Aparicio didn’t make it into the best-actress race, Cuarón still has so much industry heat that he could trump the first-time filmmaker Cooper.
