Golden Globes 2007

Best motion picture, drama:
While I haven't seen it yet, I think the Queen will win, which will start off a different perspective for The Academy Awards race.

Best motion picture, comedy:
There is certainly competition here also, but I have to go with my favorite, Little Miss Sunshine.

Actor, drama:
No doubt, the wonderful Forrest Whitaker – without having seen the movie.

Actress, drama:
Helen Mirren only has competition from Judi Dench, but she will still win – I haven't seen either.

Actor, comedy:
I guess that Sacha Baron Cohen will be a surprise win.

Actress, comedy:
The best – Meryl Streep

Supporting actor:
Jack Nicholson is my prediction, although I really appreciated Brad Pitt's subtle portrayal of a role that he could have easily over-acted in, however you can't really give an award because someone wasn't as bad as they could have been.

Supporting actress:
I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Rinko Kikuchi from Babel win here, and she is my guess, although there is stron competition, especially by Adriana Barraza and Cate Blanchett.

Director:
Martin Scorsese, with competition from Stephen Frears.

Screenplay:
The Queen.

Animation:
Cars
