2015 Golden Globes Nominations Predictions

Posted on December 9, 2014 By John Gilpatrick Awards Predictions

The ultra-prestigious and never ridiculous Hollywood Foreign Press Association is on the cusp of announcing its nominees for the 2015 Golden Globes. We should take these nominations very seriously, as the many, many dedicated and serious-minded members of this fine organization consider only the artistic merits of each film, performance, and craft achievement in a given year. That is to say, their choices matter a great deal and are perhaps objectively the film world’s greatest offerings.

I jest, of course, but it is a great deal of fun trying to predict what stars will attract the HFPA’s gaze this year. I’m expecting a lot from Gone Girl and Into the Woods, which have both been mostly absent from the circuit so far. But we’ll find out for sure soon.
