UPDATED, AFTER THE AWARDS: All winners in each category are in bold. They have boldly gone where movies should go, right? Anyway.
The full list of 2019 Golden Globes nominees [Drumroll]:
Film
Best Picture — Drama
Black Panther (RunPee Jilly: PLEASE let a genre superhero movie win!!! Break the ceiling now! Make Stan Lee proud! Oh, just win it!)
BlacKkKlansman (Dan: What a funny, witty, movie. Great acting, directing, editing. It’s a strong contender for Best Picture.)
Bohemian Rhapsody (Jilly: Why is this not a musical?)
A Star Is Born (Jilly: Second time: why is this also not a musical?)
Best Picture — Comedy or Musical
Mary Poppins Returns (Jilly: Certainly is the only Musical on this list.)
Vice (Jilly: This was a COMEDY?)
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture — Drama
Bradley Cooper, A Star Is Born
Willem Dafoe, At Eternity’s Gate
Lucas Hedges, Boy Erased
Rami Malek, Bohemian Rhapsody (Jilly: my pic for the prize. He WAS Freddie.)
John David Washington, BlacKkKlansman (Dan: I don’t know about this. If JDW is nominated then how can Adam Driver not be nominated as well? They played the same person. 🙂 )
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture — Drama
Glenn Close, The Wife
Lady Gaga, A Star Is Born
Nicole Kidman, Destroyer
Melissa McCarthy, Can You Ever Forgive Me?
Rosamund Pike, A Private War (Jilly: the movie was disturbing, but clearly meant to be. I can’t argue with the stellar job Pike did with this challenging piece. It’s nothing like her work in Gone Girl, but I can make out certain similar touches.)
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy
Christian Bale, Vice (Dan: Wait, what? Christian Bale was Cheney? I thought Cheney played himself in this movie.)
Lin Manuel Miranda, Mary Poppins Returns
Viggo Mortensen, Green Book
Robert Redford, The Old Man & the Gun
John C. Reilly, Stan & Ollie
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy
Emily Blunt, Mary Poppins Returns (Jilly: She really became Mary Poppins, ya’ll. Goes to show that good talent can equal a previous iconic performance, if all things come together. Also, it’s Emily Blunt! She’s on my “Can Do No Wrong” list.)
Olivia Colman, The Favourite
Elsie Fisher, Eighth Grade
Charlize Theron, Tully
Constance Wu, Crazy Rich Asians (Dan: This movie had all the markings of a cinematic Hallmark movie, but Constance’s performance really brought it up a notch, and then some.)
Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture
Mahershala Ali, Green Book
Timothée Chalamet, Beautiful Boy
Adam Driver, BlacKkKlansman (Dan: Okay, that’s what I’m talking about. Driver was superb.)
Richard E. Grant, Can You Ever Forgive Me?
Sam Rockwell, Vice (Dan: Meh, just like Bush Jr., he plays second fiddle to the real talent.)
Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture
Amy Adams, Vice (Dan: A strong performance. She didn’t have many dramatic scenes but did a great job with what she had.)
Claire Foy, First Man
Regina King, If Beale Street Could Talk (DanaSimone: UPDATE: Just heard Regina King got an Award for Best Supporting Actress for Beale Street…. and she made a trending speech about hiring 50 percent women from now on on her projects….here is her awesome speech.)
Emma Stone, The Favourite
Rachel Weisz, The Favourite
Best Director — Motion Picture
Bradley Cooper, A Star Is Born (Jilly: A nice directorial effort. This young man is shaping up nicely.)
Alfonso Cuarón, Roma
Peter Farrelly, Green Book
Spike Lee, BlacKkKlansman (Dan: He’s got my vote.)
Adam McKay, Vice (Dan: Adam did a great job taking a creative approach to a serious subject matter. I mean really, it takes real creativity to make a bioptic about Dick Cheney into a comedy, without turning it into a farce.)
Best Screenplay — Motion Picture
Alfonso Cuarón, Roma
Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara, The Favourite
Barry Jenkins, If Beale Street Could Talk
Adam McKay, Vice (Dan: Honestly, his directing was really good, however I think the bulk of the credit goes to Christian Bale’s performance. But this screenplay was amazing. I think this is Adam’s strongest suit.)
Peter Farrelly, Nick Vallelonga, Brian Currie, Green Book
Best Motion Picture — Animated
Incredibles 2 (Jilly: The probable winner. This adulty animated Superhero family is the one to beat. Plus, Pixar!)
Isle of Dogs (Jilly: Isle of Dogs certainly deserves this nom. I was super surprised how sophisticated this limited release cartoon about Asian dogs was. But it had a stellar acting cast, so, maybe I should have expected it.)
Mirai (Golden Man: A sweet anime about family and heritage. Definitely an underdog. Its nomination is its award. The kind of left field movie that occasionally sneaks into the Best Animated Film category at the Oscars.)
Ralph Breaks the Internet (Jilly: This was freaking amazing too!)
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (Jilly: OH NOES. Let this one win. Sorry about everything I said above. Especially in 3D, this film absolutely blows the rest out of the water. One of the best movies in any medium – total A ++++.)
Best Picture — Foreign Language
Capernaum
Girl
Never Look Away
Roma
Shoplifters
Best Original Score — Motion Picture
Marco Beltrami, A Quiet Place (Jilly: WTH? This is an almost entirely silent film? Does this count as Best Anti-Score?)
Alexandre Desplat, Isle of Dogs (Jilly: Unusual score, but not a winner, I think.)
Ludwig Göransson, Black Panther (Jilly: YES! This is the kind of soundtrack scoring that transports the viewer to a new reality. This most exotic of Marvel’s soundtracks should set a standard of what we can expect in a genre film like this.. My unreserved vote.)
Justin Hurwitz, First Man (Jilly: The score was a collection of oldies hits, if I recall. Nope on this one.)
Marc Shaiman, Mary Poppins Returns (Jilly: Might be hard to beat from nostalgia factor alone. Not my choice, though.)
Best Original Song — Motion Picture
“All the Stars,” Black Panther
“Girl in the Movies,” Dumplin’
“Requiem for a Private War,” A Private War
“Revelation,” Boy Erased
“Shallow,” A Star Is Born

Bodyguard (Netflix)
Homecoming (Amazon)
Killing Eve (BBC America)
Pose (FX)
Best Television Series — Musical or Comedy
Barry (HBO)

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Amazon)

Sacha Baron Cohen, Who Is America
Jim Carrey, Kidding
Michael Douglas, The Kominsky Method
Donald Glover, Atlanta
Bill Hader, Barry
Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series — Musical or Comedy
Kristen Bell, The Good Place (Jilly: Bell deserves this. No one but Veronica Mars herself could do a better job sleuthing this plot out.)
Candice Bergen, Murphy Brown
Alison Brie, Glow
Rachel Brosnahan, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Debra Messing, Will & Grace (Jilly: Messing will probably win, to make up for the 30 noms her show was snubbed by over the years. I’ll be fine with that. The show did something I never thought mainstream society was ready for.)
Best Performance by an Actor in a Limited Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television
Antonio Banderas, Genius: Picasso

So? What say you? Go to the comments and don’t be shy. We all have our own opinions, so no one is wrong. For example, I (RunPee Jilly) tend to like genre films/TV (sci-fi, fantasy, adventure) myself, and avoid a lot of Oscar bait. It doesn’t mean I have no taste, does it? It’s all fun. That’s what makes us go see movies, read reviews, and learn new things to watch.
Co-Creator of RunPee, Chief of Operations, Content Director, and Managing Editor. RunPee Jilly likes galaxy-spanning sci fi, superhero sagas, fantasy films, YA dystopians, action thrillers, chick flicks, and zany comedies, in that order…and possesses an inspiringly small bladder. In fact, that little bladder sparked the creation of RunPee. (Good thing she’s learned to hold it.)
