It is a crucial week ahead for Hollywood because the 87th Academy Awards will be announced on 15th January (Thursday). What is more exciting ahead in a few hours (GMT 01:00, 12th January) would be the 72nd Golden Globes Awards hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler for the third consecutive time. Although the Globes has a limited base of voters within their committee, winners of the night will boost momentum in their race for the ultimate honours, the Oscars. At these striking hours of reviewing the nominees for the Globes, filmAEO makes the daring predictions once again.
Motion Picture, Drama
Prediction: Boyhood
Reason: Never has a film done so to put this amount of effort on filming for 12 years. Director Richard Linklater has been making great films over the years and this has truly topped his career. Partricia Arquette's performance which is likely to win Best Supporting Actress would anchor the film's position for this award title.
Motion Picture, Comedy
Prediction: Birdman
Reason: Cinematography utilising natural lighting and contrast, coherence of the story all in one shot with nearly no editing at all (actually there was) and its great cast ensemble etc. These main factors contribute to the win of the title. Possible wins for Best Director and Best Actor, Comedy/Musical increase its chances as well.
Director
Prediction: Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (Birdman)
Reason: Lost this title to Martin Scorsese few years ago when he filmed Babel. An overdue for sure and the Globe committee owes him big time. Linklater may take over the title for his 12 years' effort and commitment to Boyhood, yet Inarritu filmed Birdman with less effort and demonstrated the art of filming well balanced in every aspect.
Actor, Drama
Prediction: Eddie Redmayne (Theory of Everything)
Reason: Two words: Stephen Redmayne. His performance, in particular facial expressions, bears a great resemblance to Stephen Hawking in person.
Actor, Comedy/Musical
Prediction: Michael Keaton (Birdman)
Reason: Been quiet for many years and his acting potential is yet to be noticed since Batman. All you need is one film in your acting career to take away the top prizes, and this is the moment for Michael Keaton.

Actress, Drama
Prediction: Julianne Moore (Still Alice)
Reason: Seeing the changes of an Alzhemier patient and understanding them through Julianne's performance, they are simply the winning elements when emotions convert into votes. Julianne is also nominated in Actress, Comedy/Musical category this year. This is the right moment to give her the title, which is also an appraisal for her amazing performances throughout these years.

Actress, Comedy/Musical
Prediction: Emily Blunt (Into the Woods)
Reason: If Amy Adams did not win last year, the title would have been hers. However, Emily Blunt's singing and acting is equally as amazing as Amy in Big Eyes.

Supporting Actor
Prediction: J.K. Simmons (Whiplash)
Reason: This is the tempo you need as a supporting actor. Simmons' character has amplified the intensity of Whiplash.

Supporting Actress
Prediction: Patricia Arquette (Boyhood)
Reason: She is the center of mass for Boyhood as the Mother to bring up the Boy. Great performance all the way through the film, meanwhile seeing her physical changes (aging) and the audience will always remember her last scene before the film ends.

Screenplay
Prediction: Wes Anderson (The Grand Budapest Hotel)
Reason: The Grand Budapest Hotel has become the highest grossing film of Wes Anderson's works. This is the category in which he would be recognised and rewarded for.

Animated Feature
Prediction: The LEGO Movie
Reason: Everything is AWESOME! Lego has been a childhood memory for most of these Globes voters, and the many characters will be the everlasting collective memory for audience and future generations.
