Best Motion Picture (Drama) - Lincoln (r-u) none
(My Choice - really hard to say. Don't love any of them. Need to see Zero Dark Thirty again before I make my decision. Leaning towards Argo.)

Actress (Drama) - Jessica Chastain (r-u) none
(My Choice - Haven't seen a lot of the nominees, but Rachel Weisz)

Actor (Drama) - Daniel Day-Lewis (r-u) none
(My Choice - Daniel Day-Lewis, Lincoln)

Best Motion Picture (Musical or Comedy) - Les Miserables (r-u) Silver Linings Playbook
(My Choice - Silver Linings Playbook)

Actress (Musical or Comedy) - Jennifer Lawrence (r-u) none
(My Choice - only seen Lawrence. Fine with her win.)

Actor (Musical or Comedy) - Hugh Jackman (r-u) Bradley Cooper
(My Choice - Jack Black, Bernie)

Animated Feature - Frankenweenie (r-u) Brave
(My Choice - ParaNorman)

Foreign Language Film - Amour (r-u) none

Supporting Actor - Leonardo DiCaprio (r-u) Tommy Lee Jones
(My Choice - Christoph Waltz)

Director - Steven Spielberg (r-u) Ben Affleck
(My Choice - Not sure. Ben Affleck & Steven Spielberg's films are the most solid, but the direction isn't as special. Bigelow and Lee's triumphs are more lopsided but impressive)

(My Choice - Silver Linings Playbook)

Original Score - Life of Pi (r-u) Argo
(My Choice - Have yet to see Cloud Atlas or Anna Karenina but one of those two)

I guess it's up to me now. Our annual Golden Globes predictions contest. A review of the rules:

1. All registered UAADB posters are eligible to participate.

2. Post your prediction in each of the FILM categories of the Golden Globes with an OPTIONAL runner-up.

3. Each correct prediction with a runner-up gets 2 points, each correct runner-up gets 1 point. A correct prediction without a runner-up gets 3 points.
