Some quick takeaways (that and a nickel might get you a cup of coffee): Any other year and this would be Gary Oldman’s Golden Globe to lose for his excellent work in Fincher’s Mank; However, my money is on Chadwick Boseman for his tour de force final work in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. Going into the awards ceremony, Boseman is certainly the sentimental favorite and the Globe’s – along with their Oscar compatriots – find it difficult to pass up the sort of moments that can make a statement. Expressing their love for a solid actor of Boseman’s stripe seems the equivalent of catnip to the Hollywood Foreign Press.
It’s nice to see some of the Hollywood Old Guard such as Ethan Hawke, Anthony Hopkins, Michelle Pfeiffer and Kate Hudson get some recognition for their own work. Expect to see consummate actor Frances McDormand walk up to the stage to receive a statue for her mucho buzzed about work in Nomadland.
P.S. Hollywood Foreign Press: No love for Cobra Kai? William Zabka’s portrayal of 1980s burnout Johnny Lawrence is worthy of a shelf full of Golden Globes. Jus’ sayin.’
The Golden Globe Awards – certainly one of the strangest and most surreal presentations they’ve had in recent memory considering everything going on in the world – will be hosted this year by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler (their fourth time at bat in hosting the Globes) on February 28.
