2012 Golden Globe Nominees Announced

Written by Kelly Bandas on December 15, 2011 – 9:26 am -

The nominees for the 68th annual Golden Globe Awards were announced today and GossipTeen has the full list of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s nominations, as well as our tops picks for who should take home one of Hollywood’s top honors.

Hold on to your hats!!

Best Drama
The Descendants
The Help
Hugo
The Ides of March
Moneyball
War Horse

GossipTeens Pick:  Well, I’m a chick, so obviously I’m partial to The Help, but whether I like it or not, the gilded globe is mostly likely going to The Descendants.  Don’t get me wrong – it’s not that The Descendants wasn’t a great film, I would just like to see my girl Emma Stone get some major Hollywood props!

Best Comedy/Musical
50/50
The Artist
Bridesmaids
Midnight in Paris
My Week with Marilyn

GossipTeen Pick:  Um, DUH!  Bridesmaids! (*See above about me being a chick*)

Best Animated Film
Rango
The Adventures of Timtin
Puss in Boots
Winnie the Pooh
Arthur Christmas

GossipTeen Pick:  If there is any justice in the world, the nod will go to the fantastic (non-computer generated) Winnie the Pooh remake.  However, the more realistic choice is for the hugely successful Puss in Boots.

Best Actor in a Drama
George Clooney, The Descendants
Brad Pitt, Moneyball
Ryan Gosling, The Ides of March
Michael Fassbender, Shame
Leonardo DiCaprio, J. Edgar

GossipTeen Pick: My vote goes to Leo in J.Edgar, but my prediction for the actual winner is Mr. Clooney in The Descendants – he’s just too damn charming not to win.

Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical
Jean Dujardin, The Artist
Brendan Gleeson, The Guard
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, 50/50
Ryan Gosling, Crazy, Stupid, Love.
Owen Wilson, Midnight in Paris

GossipTeen Pick:  Wouldn’t it be great if Ryan Gosling could win something!?  Unfortunately, he won’t be taking home this category either – Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical will most likely go to Jean Dujardin in The Artist.

Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture
Kenneth Branagh, My Week With Marilyn
Albert Brooks, Drive
Jonah Hill, Moneyball
Christopher Plummer, Beginners
Viggo Mortensen, A Dangerous Method

GossipTeen Pick: Christopher Plummer in Beginners.  He is awesome.  The end.

Best Actress in a Drama
Glenn Close, Albert Nobbs
Viola Davis, The Help
Rooney Mara, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
Meryl Streep, The Iron Lady
Tilda Swinton, We Need to Talk About Kevin

GossipTeen Pick: You’d have to be a fool not to put your money on Meryl Streep, but I can’t help but think that Rooney Mara may pull this one out for her stellar performance in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy
Jodie Foster, Carnage
Charlize Theron, Young Adult
Kristen Wiig, Bridesmaids
Michelle Williams, My Week with Marilyn
Kate Winslet, Carnage

GossipTeen Pick: Kristen Wiig! Kristen Wiig!  A thousand times Kristin Wiig!

Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture
Shailene Woodley, The Descendants
Octavia Spencer, The Help
Janet McTeer, Albert Nobbs
Berenice Bejo, The Artist
Jessica Chastain, The Help

GossipTeen Pick: While Jessica Chastain and Octavia Spencer were both incredible in The Help, the award will most likely go to Berenice Bejo for her work in The Artist.
Best Director 
Woody Allen, Midnight in Paris
George Clooney, The Ides of March
Michel Hazanavicius, The Artist
Alexander PayneThe Descendants
Martin Scorsese, Hugo

GossipTeen Pick:  Such a star-studded category!  Midnight in Paris was such a fun, quirky film, that I’d love to see Woody Allen bring this one home, but I have a hunch that Alexander Payne and his masterful direction of The Descendants will take this one home.

Best TV Comedy or Musical
Enlightened
Episodes
Glee
Modern Family
New Girl

GossipTeen Pick: Um, isn’t there some sort of unwritten rule that all TV awards must be given to Modern Family?

Best Mini-Series or Motion Picture
Cinema Verite
Downton Abbey
The Hour
Mildred Pierce
Too Big To Fail

GossipTeen Pick:  Mildred Pierce should walk away a winner in this category.

Best Actor in a TV Drama
Bryan Cranston, Breaking Bad
Steve Buscemi, Boardwalk Empire
Damian Lewis, Homeland
Jeremy Irons, The Borgias
Kelsey Grammer, Boss

GossipTeen Pick: TOUGH choice here, but I’m going to have to go with Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad - he’s character is just too dynamic not to win.

Best Actor in a TV Musical or Comedy
Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock
David Duchovny, Californication
Johnny GaleckiThe Big Bang Theory
Thomas JaneHung
Matt LeBlancEpisodes

GossipTeen Pick:  If Johnny Galecki wins this I quit at life.  My vote goes for Alec Baldwin in 30 Rock.
Best Supporting Actor in TV Series, Mini-Series, or Made-for-TV Movie
Peter Dinklage, Game of Thrones
Paul Giamatti, Too Big To Fail
Guy Pearce, Mildred Pierce
Tim Robbins, Cinema Verite
Eric Stonestreet, Modern Family

GossipTeen Pick: Would love to see either Paul Giamatti or Tim Robbins walk away with this one, but the nod will probably go to Peter Dinklage for his work in the wildly popular, Game of Thrones.

Best Actress in a TV Drama
Claire Danes, Homeland
Mireille Enos, The Killing
Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife
Madeleine Stowe, Revenge
Callie Thorne, Necessary Roughness

GossipTeen Pick: Revenge is the worst show on television – the fact that it is even mentioned on this list appalls me.  Claire Danes should win this one – hands down.

Best Actress in a TV Musical or Comedy
Laura DernEnlightened
Zooey DeschanelNew Girl
Tina Fey30 Rock
Laura Linney, The Big C
Amy PoehlerParks and Recreation

GossipTeen Pick:  TINA FEY!!!  Although, I do love me some Amy Poehler.

Best Supporting Actress in TV Series, Mini-Series, or Made-for-TV Movie 
Jessica Lange, American Horror Story
Kelly Macdonald, Boardwalk Empire
Maggie Smith, Downton Abbey
Sofia VergaraModern Family
Evan Rachel WoodMildred Pierce

GossipTeen Pick: Is Sofia Vergara actually funny or is she just so hot that people don’t care?  My vote goes to Evan Rachel Wood for Mildred Pierce
