Outstanding Picture – Drama
Oppenheimer – WINNER
This is poised to mark the beginning of an Oppenheimer triumph. Even if, by some unexpected turn, it falls short of an Oscar victory, it would be a surprising upset if it doesn't secure the win here.

Outstanding Picture – Musical/Comedy
Barbie – WINNER
Remarkably, this category turned out to be even more robust than the Drama section this year! While Poor Things, American Fiction, or The Holdovers could contend for the victory, Barbie aligns so perfectly with the Globes' taste that it's hard to fathom it not securing the win here.
Outstanding Actor – Drama
Bradley Cooper (Maestro) – WINNER
The competition is intensifying in the dramatic realm, particularly between Bradley Cooper and Cillian Murphy. While Cooper appears to be the frontrunner with his compelling and transformative performance, there's a considerable chance that Murphy might emerge victorious with the prize.
Outstanding Actor – Musical/Comedy
Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers) – WINNER
Paul Giamatti has unexpectedly positioned himself as a formidable third contender for the Best Actor Oscar. Given that Jeffrey Wright is the only viable competition in this category, Giamatti appears poised to effortlessly secure this prestigious award.
Best Actress – Drama
Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon) – WINNER
Lily Gladstone has unexpectedly taken the lead in the race, securing critical acclaim. With a compelling narrative in her favor, although Mulligan, Huller, and even Bening have their narratives, none seem potent enough to surpass her in this category.
Best Actress – Musical/Comedy
Emma Stone (Poor Things) – WINNER
Emma Stone is the indisputable front-runner in this category. Poor Things has received widespread appreciation, making this the most straightforward path for voters to acknowledge the film.
Best Supporting Actor
Robert Downey, Jr. (Oppenheimer) - WINNER
The showdown in this category shapes up to be a Barbenheimer face-off of epic proportions, featuring two long-overdue actors, Ryan Gosling and Robert Downey Jr. Presently, public sentiment leans toward Downey, a choice that aligns with his esteemed veteran status, beloved public image, and the overall strength of his film.
Best Supporting Actress
Da’Vine Joy Randolph (The Holdovers) – WINNER
This category is highly susceptible to an upset, with the potential for genuine chaos as any of these women could emerge victorious. However, there is a considerable likelihood that Da'Vine Joy Randolph might secure the prize for her standout performance.
Best Director
Christopher Nolan (Oppenheimer) – WINNER
It's Christopher Nolan's moment. Hand him the Oscar now, and let's move forward! Even if Oppenheimer were to somehow lose its grip on the top spot for Best Picture, this award seems destined to bear Nolan's name.
The outcome of who will come out on top and claim the prize is still uncertain. However, one thing is definite—this year's Golden Globes is bound to be filled with a few significant surprises.
