The 82nd Golden Globe Awards are just around the corner, and USA TODAY is predicting who will win in the top film categories. The competition is fierce, with several strong contenders vying for the top spots.
In the best drama category, “The Brutalist” is looking like a dark horse contender. Directed by Brady Corbet, the movie tells the story of an immigrant architect’s journey to America and has been hailed as one of the best films of 2024. Will it take home the award?
Meanwhile, in the best comedy or musical category, “Wicked” is expected to be a major winner. The big-screen adaptation of the Broadway hit has won audiences over with its catchy music and memorable performances. Will it be enough to edge out Cinderella stripper story “Anora” and Spanish-language musical crime thriller “Emilia Pérez”?
The acting categories are also highly anticipated, with several strong contenders vying for their respective awards. In best actor in a drama, Adrien Brody is expected to take home the award for his role as a Holocaust survivor, but some critics argue that Colman Domingo’s performance in “Sing Sing” deserves more recognition.
In best actress in a drama, Angelina Jolie is looking like a major winner for her portrayal of opera legend Maria Callas. However, Nicole Kidman’s quietly powerful turn in “Babygirl” should not be underestimated.
The comedy or musical categories also see several strong contenders, with Jesse Plemons expected to take home the award for his role in “Kinds of Kindness”. However, Sebastian Stan’s performance as an aspiring actor in “A Different Man” has been praised by many critics.
Finally, the supporting acting categories are looking like a close contest between two women: Zendaya and Karla Sofía Gascón. While Amy Adams is expected to win for her role in “Nightbitch”, some critics argue that Gascón’s performance as a former drug kingpin in “Emilia Pérez” deserves more recognition.
As the Golden Globes approach, one thing is certain: it’s going to be an exciting night of awards. Who will take home the top honors?
