Best Motion Picture Drama
What I want to win: I give this to ROOM. No film has stayed with me more than this can't-look-away nail biter about a kidnapped woman and her son held in captivity.
What will probably win: I think THE REVENANT, which is also deserving, but didn't hit me as emotionally hard as the other.
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture Drama
Who I want to win: Brie Larson from ROOM. Earth-shatteringly good.
Who will probably win: Brie Larson from ROOM. She is getting universal praise, for good reason.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture Drama
Who I want to win: Without question, Leonardo DiCaprio for THE REVENANT. He's good in everything he's in, but in this role he got attacked by a bear and had very few lines.
Who will probably win: Leo has terrible luck during awards season, so I think Eddie Redmayne of THE DANISH GIRL will take this one. I liked him in the role, but still think Leo had a more difficult job.
Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy
What I want to win: TRAINWRECK. Amy Schumer. Need I say more?
What will probably win: I have a good feeling about TRAINWRECK and Amy's string of success this year.
Best Performance by an Actress - Musical or Comedy
Who I want to win: Amy Schumer, of course.
Who will probably win: Amy Schumer, of course.
Best Performance by an Actor - Musical or Comedy
Who I want to win: Christian Bale was creepy good in THE BIG SHORT, right down to actually wearing the guy's clothes. He gets my vote.
Who will probably win: I think more people saw THE MARTIAN, and Matt Damon will walk away with the Globe.
Best Motion Picture - Animated
What I want to win: No film had more heart this year than INSIDE OUT. I hope it takes the honor.
What will probably win: Pixar rules. INSIDE OUT it is!
Best Motion Picture - Foreign Language
Shamefully, I have seen none of the nominees, so I will remove myself from weighing in on this race.
Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture
Who I want to win: STEVE JOBS was held together by Kate Winslet. She deserves the trophy.
Who will probably win: Alicia Vikander of EX MACHINA has gotten a lot of press. I'm guessing if Kate loses, it will be to her.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture
Who I want to win: Mark Rylance was absolutely charming in BRIDGE OF SPIES. I'd like to see his acceptance speech.
Who will probably win: Paul Dano, though probably should have been considered a lead, made an excellent Brian Wilson in LOVE & MERCY. He could be the night's showstopper.
Best Director - Motion Picture
Who I want to win: I go with Alejandro G. Iñarritu for THE REVENANT. Shooting in the wilderness, in natural light, using very little CGI and not a lot of dialogue. The film is a cinematic treasure.
Who will probably win: Ridley Scott and his crowd-pleaser THE MARTIAN will most likely walk away with the prize.
Best Screenplay - Motion Picture
Who I want to win: Tom McCarthy and Josh Singer for SPOTLIGHT deserve the honor for their fast-paced, perfectly crafted script.
Who will probably win: Charles Randolph and Adam McKay had a lot of crackle in THE BIG SHORT. Audiences will remember the dialogue; especially because a lot of it was spoken directly to them in the "how this happened" vignettes featuring famous cameos.
Best Original Score - Motion Picture
Who I want to win: Alexandre Desplat painted a beautiful picture of both the era and the landscapes of the two major European cities featured in THE DANISH GIRL, while managing to convey the emotion of the leads. I loved it.
Who will probably win: Ennio Morricone is the rock star of the bunch, so I'm guessing his work for THE HATEFUL EIGHT will yield the Globe.
Best Original Song - Motion Picture
Who I want to win: When the subject of the movie is also the composer of the song in the movie, it's hard to argue with it. My vote goes to Brian Wilson for LOVE & MERCY.
Who will probably win: Everyone wants to see a Beach Boy on stage. I think Brian Wilson will indeed win for LOVE & MERCY.
Best Television Series - Drama
What I want to win: Funny story: I only started watching MR. ROBOT because when I lived in NY for a brief time last year for work, they filmed it on my Upper West Side apartment's street. It became a fast favorite and it gets my vote here.
What will probably win: I wasn't the only one who loved this show. I'm guessing MR. ROBOT will prove victorious.
Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Drama
Who I want to win: The intensity she exudes (in the contexts of both sex and violence) qualify Catriona Balfe of OUTLANDER to win, in my book.
Who will probably win: I think Viola Davis, who is the most buzzed-about leading lady, will take it for HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Drama
Who I want to win: Don Draper forever! John Hamm of MAD MEN, please.
Who will probably win: Since MAD MEN has ended and it's Hamm's last chance to win, I think my wish will come true.
Best Television Series - Music or Comedy
Who I want to win: An admittedly recent convert, I'm all about TRANSPARENT.
Who will probably win: I feel like I'm not the only one who loves TRANSPARENT.
Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Music or Comedy
Who I want to win: Jamie Lee Curtis kept SCREAM QUEENS alive on my DVR. She gets my vote.
Who will probably win: Julia Louis-Dreyfus in VEEP seems to have quite the winning streak (though I hate that show).
Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Music or Comedy
Who I want to win: Is it any surprise? I go for Jeffrey Tambor in TRANSPARENT.
Who will probably win: I think the HFP will agree with me and go with Jeffrey Tambor for his role as a trans parent in TRANSPARENT.
Best Television Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television
What I want to win: My vote would go to the always-interesting AMERICAN CRIME.
What will probably win: The critics can't seem to get enough of FARGO, so I'll bet it beats out the rest.
Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television
Who I want to win: Lady Gaga has been fantastic in AMERICAN HORROR STORY: HOTEL, so she gets my vote.
Who will probably win: Though I didn't see it, I hear Queen Latifah was transcendent in BESSIE. My guess is she'll be the one walking away with the win.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television
Who I want to win: Idris Elba has made LUTHER iconic in his own right, so he's my pick.
Who will probably win: I think voters will award Patrick Wilson of FARGO with the Globe.
Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Television Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television
Who I want to win: Maura Tierney was nothing short of brilliant this season on THE AFFAIR. She deserves the honor.
Who will probably win: I have a hunch about the always-wonderful Regina King of AMERICAN CRIME.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Television Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television
Who I want to win: Alan Cumming for THE GOOD WIFE. Anything else is a conspiracy.
Who will probably win: I can't see anyone in their right mind disagreeing with me on this one. Alan Cumming, Sir Eli Gold, THE GOOD WIFE.
We'll find out on Sunday if I was right!
