Oscar Podcast #78: Golden Globe Predictions with Kyle Buchanan of the New York Times
In what might be the wildest Golden Globes in a while, with so many categories open and without a true frontrunner, returning guest Kyle Buchanan of the New York Times and I try to figure out who’s going to win this Sunday and who might go home empty-handed.
There’s a lot of Oscar talk in this podcast too, especially as this shortened season pushes everything so much closer together. Oscar nomination voting just kicked off yesterday so we could the impact of this Sunday’s Globe winners felt when Oscar noms are announced on January 13th.
Kyle and I do agree on a few locks of the night, like Brad Pitt for Supporting Actor, but we differed on who’s going to take Best Actor – Drama…well, at first. I’ve been in the Adam Driver seat all pre-season but, as often happens during a good podcast, I have gone over to the dark side and wound up agreeing with Kyle that it’s probably Joaquin Phoenix’s to lose. Especially if Joker is going to give us an upset in Motion Picture – Drama…
Amazingly, Best Motion Picture – Drama might be the most open category and we make the case for almost any of the five nominees to be able to win.
