Totally Unreliable and Slightly Profane 75th Golden Globes Predictions
Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture
Willem DaFoe, The Florida Project
Armie Hammer, Call Me by Your Name
Richard Jenkins, The Shape of Water
Christopher Plummer, All The Money in the World
Sam Rockwell, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Winner: You know what, I can totally see the HFPA pulling something whacky like giving it to Christopher Plummer. Who’s probably amazing! But I wouldn’t know, I haven’t seen it. But who in the hell has seen All The Money in the World?? So, I’m gonna say no on Plummer. So he’ll probably win. DaFoe would be a good bet because he’s kind of cornering the market on being in that movie nobody saw but you heard he was really good in. Sam Rockwell could legitimately get a boost from the Three Billboards wave, but his character is hugely problematic to many, despite how well he brought the character to life. But something tells me that this is going to go to Richard Jenkins, who gives an incredibly warm, genuine, and sincere performance in The Shape of Water. Plus, I fucking LOVED him on Six Feet Under. My methods are obviously very scientific, as you can see.
