Film Predictions — Johnny Oleksinski

Best Motion Picture, Drama

“1917”

PREDICTED WINNER: “The Irishman” Scorsese’s mob epic has been an awards-season juggernaut, scooping up the coveted National Board of Review best picture prize. That’ll continue at the Globes.

“Joker”

“Marriage Story”

“The Two Popes”

Margot Robbie in “Once Upon a Time. . . in Hollywood.”ANDREW COOPERMargot Robbie in “Once Upon a Time. . . in Hollywood.”ANDREW COOPER

Best picture, comedy

“Dolemite is my Name”

“Jojo Rabbit”

“Knives Out”

PREDICTED WINNER: “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood” The Globes love Tarantino, having nominated his films more times than the Oscars. But his latest, most mature flick will be his first best picture win.

“Rocketman”

Best director

Bong Joon Ho, “Parasite”

Sam Mendes, “1917”

Quentin Tarantino, “Once Upon A Time … in Hollywood”

PREDICTED WINNER: Martin Scorsese, “The Irishman” The nail-biter of the night — all these men except Phillips have a decent shot at winning. However, affection for the nine-time nominee should tip the scales.

Emma Thompson, “Late Night”

Cate Blanchett, “Where’d You Go Bernadette”

TV Predictions — Michael Starr

Best Series, Drama

“Big Little Lies” (HBO)

“The Crown” (Netflix)

“Killing Eve” (BBC America)

“The Morning Show” (Apple TV Plus)

PREDICTED WINNER: “Succession” (HBO) “Big Little Lies” and “Killing Eve” had weaker second seasons — and everyone was buzzing about “Succession.”

“Barry”

PREDICTED WINNER: “Fleabag” It’s series creator/star Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s award to lose for a universally loved series.

“The Kominsky Method”

“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”

“The Politician”

Best Actress, Drama

Reese Witherspoon, “The Morning Show”

Jennifer Aniston, “The Morning Show”

PREDICTED WINNER: Olivia Colman, “The Crown” Witherspoon and Aniston will cancel each other out. Colman, brings a steely, no-nonsense resolve to a thankless role and gives just the right amount of emotional shading to Queen Elizabeth II’s seemingly cold mien.

Jodie Comer, “Killing Eve”

Nicole Kidman, “Big Little Lies”

Olivia Colman in “The Crown.”APOlivia Colman in “The Crown.”AP

Best Actress, Comedy

Christina Applegate, “Dead to Me”

Best Actor, Comedy

Ramy Youssef, “Ramy”

Michael Douglas, “The Kominsky Method”

Bill Hader, “Barry”

Best Limited Series

“The Loudest Voice”

“Unbelievable”

“Catch-22”

PREDICTED WINNER: “Chernobyl” Writer/director Craig Mazin took what, on the surface, appeared to be a dry subject and transformed it into a riveting retelling.

“Fosse/Verdon”
