Will Star Is Born defeat Black Panther ? Will Rami Malek in Freddie Mercury be right about Christian Bale as Vice President Dick Cheney? One thing is certain: champagne, glitter and celebrities will be at the rendezvous Sunday for the 76th edition of the Golden Globes.
Even though last month, Dick Cheney's Vice- Picture, a vitriolic portrait and his ascension to power, came out on top with six nominations, most Hollywood experts are now betting on A Star Is Born and his duo of actors (Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper), who have a good chance to win the bet.
A more unpredictable competition. The Golden Globes are all the more coveted as they launch the season of film awards and often mark the ground for the prestigious Oscars, which they are waiting until the end of February. But the prognoses are delicate. Unlike the Oscars or other competitions, it is not the film professionals who vote but the hundred or so members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA).
Favorite cuaron for the "best director" Golden Globe. Even if caution is needed, the Golden Globe for best foreign language film should go to Roma , Mexican Alfonso Cuaron (Oscar winner for Gravity in 2014), which also competes in the category of "best director". The Mexican will find the veteran Spike Lee, for BlacKkKlansman , Peter Farrelly for Green Book , Adam McKay for Vice and Bradley Cooper, who takes his first steps behind the camera in addition to starring in A Star is Born . But whether it's the dedicated GoldDerby site or the bookmakers, Alfonso Cuaron wins the day in Bradley Cooper's predictions.
Towards the coronation of A star is born and Lady Gaga? In the flagship category of "Best Dramatic Film", A Star Is Born is set to win. "It's the favorite but we can not exclude a big surprise with a movie like Black Panther or BlacKkKlansman, " tempered Shawn Robbins, chief analyst of Boxoffice. A previous version, made in 1976, had already been crowned by the Golden Globes.
A new remake of a 1937 film, A Star Is Born tells the story of an alcoholic country star whose career is in decline. He meets and falls in love with a disillusioned singer incarnated by Lady Gaga, who has very favorably surprised critics and spectators in this role and favorite part for the "best dramatic actress".
Bradley Cooper, Rami Malek and Christian Bale in elbow to elbow. Named in the category "Best Dramatic Actor", Bradley Cooper is neck and neck with Rami Malek, particularly noted for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury, the singer of the Queen band, in Bohemian Rhapsody . On the comedy side, Christian Bale's performance, unrecognizable by Dick Cheney, can earn him the Golden Globe for Best Actor.
But the film Vice itself, which has deeply divided the criticism, will have to do much to win against heavyweight competitors like Green Book , served by the prestigious tandem Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali, La Favorite and his trio actresses (Olivia Colman in Queen Anne, Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone arguing over her favors) and Mary Poppins' eagerly awaited comeback .
Duel Emily Blunt and Olivia Colman. Emily Blunt, who takes over the role of the housekeeper with magical powers 54 years after Julie Andrews, will also face Olivia Colman in the category "best actress in a comedy". In men, the final duel will likely be played between Christian Bale and Viggo Mortensen.
