Getting there...

I have my line-up ready, I guess. I can still change my mind but this season has been hard to follow after the nominations. I love the nominations but it seems that I don't care about the winners that much anymore. It has been the same for the last couple of years. Next Monday, next season.

Performance by an actor in a leading role
* Daniel Day-Lewis in "Lincoln"

Performance by an actor in a supporting role
* Robert De Niro in "Silver Linings Playbook"

If these both will happen, they both will have three Oscars like Meryl. These two are exactly like Meryl. Danny will win, Bobby could. There are so many choices with the supporting actor but I feel that Bobby has the buzz now. I am sure that so many people have been waiting for him to come back with a great performance; and now he is back. There are no words to describe Danny; this will be his third best actor award. And he is worth it. Like always.

Performance by an actress in a leading role
* Jennifer Lawrence in "Silver Linings Playbook"

Performance by an actress in a supporting role
* Anne Hathaway in "Les Misérables"

Anne Hathaway for sure; there is no competition. I have a feeling that Emmanuelle Riva will win best actress but I still have chosen Jennifer Lawrence as most of people. No guts, no glory.

Achievement in directing
* "Life of Pi" Ang Lee

This could be Steven Spielberg but I have feeling that it will be Ang Lee. Lincoln will win best actor and maybe supporting; therefore there might be something left for Ang Lee. They both have won Oscars and this might be Ang Lee's time again as Lincoln has no special buzz at the moment.

Best motion picture of the year
* "Argo" Grant Heslov, Ben Affleck and George Clooney, Producers

Well, this could be Crash all over again. This should be Argo as the film is very popular and loved; it has won almost everything. But what happened with Ben Affleck? Why wasn't he nominated? Argo will win if this was just a mistake but is there more? Therefore this could end up just like Crash winning and everyone is disappointed.

Best animated feature film of the year
* "Wreck-It Ralph" Rich Moore

Achievement in cinematography
* "Life of Pi" Claudio Miranda

Achievement in costume design
* "Anna Karenina" Jacqueline Durran

Best documentary feature
* "Searching for Sugar Man"
Nominees to be determined

Best documentary short subject
* "Inocente"
Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine

Achievement in film editing
* "Argo" William Goldenberg

Best foreign language film of the year
* "Amour" Austria

Achievement in makeup and hairstyling
* "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey"
Peter Swords King, Rick Findlater and Tami Lane

 Achievement in music written for motion pictures (Original score)
* "Life of Pi" Mychael Danna

Achievement in music written for motion pictures (Original song)
* "Skyfall" from "Skyfall"
Music and Lyric by Adele Adkins and Paul Epworth

Achievement in production design
* "Anna Karenina"
Production Design: Sarah Greenwood; Set Decoration: Katie Spencer

Best animated short film
* "Paperman" John Kahrs

Best live action short film
* "Curfew" Shawn Christensen

Achievement in sound editing
* "Life of Pi" Eugene Gearty and Philip Stockton

Achievement in sound mixing
* "Les Misérables"
Andy Nelson, Mark Paterson and Simon Hayes

Achievement in visual effects
* "Life of Pi"
Bill Westenhofer, Guillaume Rocheron, Erik-Jan De Boer and Donald R. Elliott

* "Argo" Screenplay by Chris Terrio

Original screenplay

Globe winners

And the Globe winners are:

Best Picture: Argo
Best Director: Ben Affleck, Argo
Best Actress: Jessica Chastain, Zero Dark Thirty!
Best Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis, Lincoln
Best Picture, Musical/Comedy: Les Miserables
Best Foreign Language Film: Amour, Michael Haneke!
Best Actress Comedy: Jennifer Lawrence, Silver Linings Playbook
best Actor Musical: Hugh Jackman, Les Miserables
Best Supporting Actress: Anne Hathaway, Les Miserables
Best Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz, Django Unchained
Best Screenplay: Quentin Tarantino, Django Unchained
Best Original Score: Mychael Danna, Life of Pi
Best Song: Adele, Skyfall
Best Animated Feature: Brave

Daniel Day-Lewis is heading to claim his third, Anne Hathaway is ready for her first and it seems Jessica Chastain as well. Supporting actor is yet to be confimed. And so is best picture. This is very sad for Argo. Then again, Argo missed only best director nomination, it could still win the best picture. Why not? This is a weird year and anything is possible.
