Richard Linklater's Boyhood took Best Picture (Drama) at the Golden Globes on Jan. 11. He was also named Best Director. Michael Keaton won for Best Actor in a Comedy for Birdman.
We made the following predictions priro to the show, which was hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler for the third year in a row. Our friends at sportsbettingdime.com laid the odds.
Best Motion Picture, Drama
It looks like Richard Linklater's year. The director of Dazed and Confused has all the critics on his side for Boyhood (3/1), his movie about a Texas family shot over a 12-year period. BOYHOOD WINS
Best Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical
The B's have it this year: Boyhood and Birdman (2/1), which features Michael Keaton and Emma Stone sharing a joint. THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL WINS
Best Director
Longhsot Linklater (7/1) will take this category too for Boyhood. RICHARD LINKLATER WINS
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy
This is a great category chock full of stony performances. For our money, Joaquin Phoenix (6/1) would win simply for the number of joints he smokes in Inherent Vice, but Michael Keaton (2/1) will be hard to beat. And let's not forget Bill Murray's (3/1) grouchy turn in St. Vincent. MICHAEL KEATON WINS
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama
Reese Witherspoon (2/1) plays a recovering junkie in Wild, but the prize will go to long-shot Julianne Moore (8/1) for her performance as an Alzheimer's sufferer in Still Alice. JULIANNE MOORE WINS
Best Performance by a Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture
Emma Stone (7/1) lights up the screen, literally, in Birdman. She's had a terrific year, also appearing in Woody Allen's Magic in the Moonlight and Cabaret on Broadway. PATRICIA ARQUETTE WINS
Best TV Series, Musical or Comedy
Though we're partial to Mike Judge's Silicon Valley (9/1), Jenji Kohan's prison saga, Orange Is the New Black (3/1) has the buzz. THE AFFAIR WINS
Best Actress in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy
Veep lead Julia Louis-Dreyfus (2/1) is the favorite, but Girls creator Lena Dunham (3/1) and Orange's Taylor Schilling (5/1) might make her nervous. GINA RODRIGUEZ WINS
Best Actor in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy
We're rooting for Louis C.K. (2/1), who stars in his downbeat comedy, Louie. JEFFREY TAMBOR WINS
