The list of nominations for the 2016 Golden Globes and Golden Globe odds from BookMaker.eu:
Best motion picture, drama “Spotlight” -600 “Carol” +1000 “The Revenant” +450 “Mad Max: Fury Road” +2010 “Room” +2515 Were we talking Oscars I'd say this is a toss-up between "Spotlight" and "The Revenant," but since it's the Globes anything can happen. I mean, "Mad Max" is nominated!
Best motion picture comedy/musical “Joy” +550 “The Martian” +140 “Trainwreck” +1700 “The Big Short” -145 “Spy” +4000 "The Big Short," no two ways about it.
Best actor in a motion picture, drama Leonardo DiCaprio, “The Revenant” -1010 Eddie Redmayne, “The Danish Girl” Michael Fassbender, “Steve Jobs” +550 Will Smith, “Concussion” Bryan Cranston, “Trumbo” Leo, hands down. Although Fassbender is the darkest of horses and a win for him would certainly shock many, which the Globes like to do.
Best actor in a motion picture comedy/musical Matt Damon, “The Martian” Steve Carell, “The Big Short” Al Pacino, “Danny Collins” Mark Ruffalo, “Infinitely Polar Bear” Christian Bale, “The Big Short” Toss-up between Damon and Carell.
Best actress in a motion picture, drama Brie Larson, “Room” -370 Saoirse Ronan, “Brooklyn” +500 Cate Blanchett, “Carol” +425 Alicia Vikander, “The Danish Girl” +6120 Rooney Mara, “Carol” +1000 I'd like to see Ronan win this honor, for her brilliant, subtle performance in the indie gem "Brooklyn," but Cate Blanchett could prove difficult to beat.
Best actress in a motion picture comedy/musical Jennifer Lawrence, “Joy” Amy Schumer, “Trainwreck” Lily Tomlin, “Grandma” Melissa McCarthy, “Spy” Maggie Smith, “The Lady in the Van” This certainly was the Year of Schumer, and the Globes could definitely want to get in on the action, but Lawrence turned in yet another performance that is just too perfect to be ignored.
Best director — motion picture Ridley Scott, “The Martian” +100 Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, “The Revenant” +300 Tom McCarthy, “Spotlight” +400 Todd Haynes, “Carol” +1835 George Miller, “Mad Max: Fury Road” +300 Scott versus Inarritu.
Best supporting actress in a motion picture Kate Winslet, “Steve Jobs” Jennifer Jason Leigh, “The Hateful Eight” Jane Fonda, “Youth” Alicia Vikander, “Ex Machina” Helen Mirren, “Trumbo” Jennifer Jason Leigh. And it's long overdue.
Best supporting actor in a motion picture Sylvester Stallone, “Creed” Idris Elba, “Beasts of No Nation” Mark Rylance, “Bridge of Spies” Michael Shannon, “99 Homes” Paul Dano, “Love and Mercy” They SO want to give this to Sly, and he sure did do a heck of a job with a character he created 40 years ago, but the competition is fierce. I wouldn't want to be up against Dano or Shannon, but Stallone does have box office receipts on his side too.
Best screenplay — motion picture “Spotlight” “Steve Jobs” “The Hateful Eight” “Room” “The Big Short” The Academy loves Tarantino's scripts, but "Hateful" is underperforming and overlong. "The Big Short" is a thoroughbred and "Spotlight", too, would be tough to edge out.
Best animated feature film “Anomalisa” +1000 “Inside Out” -1700 “The Good Dinosaur” “Shaun the Sheep Movie” “The Peanuts Movie” I'd like the love for "Peanuts" to continue, and it may, but Pixar's a beast.
Best original song “One Kind of Love,” “Love & Mercy” “Simple Song #3,” “Youth” “See You Again,” “Furious 7” “Love Me Like You Do,” “50 Shades of Grey” “Writing’s on the Wall,” “Spectre” This is actually the toughest call of the night. Bond themes have a habit of faring well come award season, but the smith ditty didn't do much by way of airplay. "See You Again" was a huge hit, plus sent off a Hollywood heartthrob (Paul Walker), and "Love Me Like You Do" was a hit for a movie that was supposed to be an even bigger one.
Best TV series, drama “Empire” (Fox) “Mr. Robot” (USA) “Game of Thrones” (HBO) “Outlander” (Starz) “Narcos” (Netflix) "Narcos" for the win.
Best TV series, comedy “Orange is the New Black” (Netflix) “Silicon Valley” (HBO) “Transparent” (Amazon) “Veep” (HBO) “Casual” (Hulu) “Mozart in the Jungle” (Amazon) "Mozart" has buzz, but "Orange" and "Veep" both had another stellar season each.
Best actor in a TV series, drama Liev Schreiber, “Ray Donovan” (Showtime) Wagner Moura, “Narcos” (Netflix) Bob Odenkirk, “Better Call Saul” (AMC) Rami Malek, “Mr. Robot” (USA) Jon Hamm, “Mad Men” (AMC) Schrieber should - and could - get it, but Hamm may get a send-off.
Best actor in a TV series, comedy Jeffrey Tambor, “Transparent” (Amazon) Aziz Ansari, “Master of None” (Netflix) Rob Lowe, “The Grinder” (Fox) Patrick Stewart, “Blunt Talk” (Starz) Gael Garcia Bernal, “Mozart in the Jungle” (Amazon) It's either Tambor for a two-fer or Lowe for a Lifetime achievement win.
Best actress in a TV series, drama Taraji P. Henson, “Empire” (Fox) Viola Davis, “How to Get Away With Murder” (ABC) Robin Wright, “House of Cards” (Netflix) Caitriona Balfe, “Outlander” (Starz) Eva Green, “Penny Dreadful” (Showtime) Henson could, Wright should, and Davis did already.
Best actress in a TV series, comedy Julia Louis-Dreyfus, “Veep” (HBO) Gina Rodriguez, “Jane the Virgin” (CW) Lily Tomlin, “Grace & Frankie” (Netflix) Jamie Lee Curtis, “Scream Queens” (Fox) Rachel Bloom, “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” (CW) Tomlin might be the one to topple Louis-Dreyfus.
