Totally Unreliable and Slightly Profane 75th Golden Globes Predictions
Best Director — Motion Picture
Guillermo Del Toro, The Shape of Water
Martin McDonagh, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Christopher Nolan, Dunkirk
Ridley Scott, All the Money in the World
Steven Spielberg, The Post
Winner: What the hell is Ridley Scott doing here? Truth be told, I haven’t seen All the Money in the World, but given that Luca Guadagnino’s Call Me By Your Name was nominated and it was gorgeous and stunning and heartfelt (and I actually saw it), how did All the Money in the World sneak in? Having said that, it might be really good. I’ll let you know. Anyways. THAT won’t win. Neither will Spielberg or Nolan. Once again, Three Billboards is really getting traction in Awards Season at the moment, so it could win? It had better not. It was good, but there were so many better movies. Like Blade Runner 2049, which isn’t even nominated. But my money is once again on fish love, so it’s gotta be Guillermo Del Toro for The Shape of Water.
