FILM PREDICTIONS from JOHNNY OLEKSINSKI

BEST DRAMA

“The Father”
Predicted winner: “Mank” While “Nomadland” is the Oscars favorite, the Globes often buck trends. David Fincher’s “Mank” has the most nods of any film, and the bold style voters gobble up.
“Nomadland”
“Promising Young Woman”
“The Trial of the Chicago 7”

BEST MUSICAL OR COMEDY

“Borat Subsequent Moviefilm”
Predicted winner: “Hamilton” Is Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical a real movie? I don’t think so. But Globes voters will go for its enduring “cool” factor.
“Music”
“Palm Springs”
“The Prom”

BEST DIRECTOR

David Fincher, “Mank”
Regina King, “One Night in Miami”
Aaron Sorkin, “The Trial of the Chicago 7”
Predicted winner: Chloé Zhao, “Nomadland” Her movie won’t win, but she will.
Emerald Fennell, “Promising Young Woman”

BEST ACTRESS DRAMA

Frances McDormand, “Nomadland”
Predicted winner: Viola Davis, “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” The Hollywood Foreign Press Association slobbers over a big, transformational turn, and Davis delivers as the Mother of the Blues.
Vanessa Kirby, “Pieces of a Woman”
Carey Mulligan, “Promising Young Woman”
Andra Day, “The United States vs. Billie Holiday”

BEST ACTOR DRAMA

Predicted winner: Chadwick Boseman, “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” The late actor’s scorching performance will lead to a posthumous win.
Riz Ahmed, “The Sound of Metal”
Anthony Hopkins, “The Father”
Gary Oldman, “Mank”
Tahar Rahim, “The Mauritanian”

Anya Taylor-Joy looks stylish in a Celia Kritharioti dress.

BEST ACTRESS MUSICAL OR COMEDY

Predicted winner: Maria Bakalova, “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” The 24-year-old is the season’s most exciting new find.
Kate Hudson, “Music”
Michelle Pfeiffer, “French Exit”
Rosamund Pike, “I Care a Lot”
Anya Taylor-Joy, “Emma.”

BEST ACTOR MUSICAL OR COMEDY

Sacha Baron Cohen, “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm”
James Corden, “The Prom”
Predicted winner: Lin-Manuel Miranda, “Hamilton.” As weird as it is to count “Hamilton” as a movie, it would be even weirder for Cohen to win twice for playing Borat.
Dev Patel, “The Personal History of David Copperfield”
Andy Samberg, “Palm Springs”

THE PROM, from left: Meryl Streep, James Corden — Meryl Streep and James Corden in The Prom.

TV PREDICTIONS from MICHAEL STARR

BEST SERIES, DRAMA

“The Crown”
“Lovecraft Country”
“The Mandalorian”
“Ozark”
“Ratched”
Predicted winner: “Ozark” The Netflix drama amped-up the drama and intensity in Season 3, reviving a flailing series with a left-turn story arc and a murderous Mexican drug lord.

BEST SERIES, MUSICAL OR COMEDY

“Emily in Paris”
“The Flight Attendant”
“The Great”
“Schitt’s Creek”
Predicted winner: “Ted Lasso” This warm-hearted comedy about an American football coach (Jason Sudeikis) hired to lead an English soccer team had the right amount of humor and pathos.

BEST ACTRESS, DRAMA

Olivia Colman, “The Crown”
Jodie Comer, “Killing Eve”
Predicted winner: Emma Corinn, “The Crown” Corinn seamlessly embodied the public perception of Princess Diana in the early days of her marriage to Prince Charles.
Laura Linney, “Ozark”
Sarah Paulson, “Ratched”

BEST ACTOR, DRAMA

Predicted winner: Jason Bateman, “Ozark” As Marty Byrd, Bateman’s smart-ass attitude annoyed me in past seasons; this time , he was riveting.
Josh O’Connor, “The Crown”
Bob Odenkirk, “Better Call Saul”
Al Pacino, “Hunters”
Matthew Rhys, “Perry Mason”

BEST ACTRESS, MUSICAL OR COMEDY

Lily Collins, “Emily in Paris”
Kaley Cuoco, “The Flight Attendant”

BEST ACTOR, MUSICAL OR COMEDY

Don Cheadle, “Black Monday”
Nicholas Hoult, “The Great”
Eugene Levy, “Schitt’s Creek”
Predicted winner: Jason Sudeikis, “Ted Lasso” Even though we’ve known Sudeikis for years, he seemed to come out of nowhere with this career-defining performance.
Ramy Youssef, “Ramy”

BEST LIMITED SERIES

“Normal People”
Predicted winner: “The Queen’s Gambit” A no-brainer. The series was very good, buzzy and made the intricacies of chess interesting.
“Small Axe”
“The Undoing”
“Unorthodox”
