The 78th Golden Globe Awards are set to take place February 28, 2021, and despite a year that’s been terrible to movie box offices, there’s a lot of great contenders, both in the worlds of film and TV. Although nominees haven’t been announced yet, we have a whole slew of potential bets you can make on your entertainment of choice, thanks to Bodog.
In the area of Film Comedy and Musicals, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm figures prominently in the odds, ranking as a contender for best film, and with the two leads, Sacha Baron Cohen and Maria Bakalova, favored to win their categories. Although the comedy doesn’t seem likely to beat out more timeless competition (I like Palm Springs), Bakalova was talk of the town when Borat returned, so she’s worth a few bucks.
In drama, Nomadland and its lead actress, Frances McDormand, are favored to win. It’s a critical darling, and while Mank could beat it out at the Oscars (due to Hollywood bias), it’s hard to bet against it here.
TV comedy looks like a shoe in for Schitt’s Creek, not having to contend against last year’s winner Fleabag. The show is favored in nearly every category it’s in, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see it upset by Ted Lasso, considering the Golden Globes are voted on by a bunch of ‘football’ loving foreigners.
TV Drama is also wide open, with Succession taking a year off due to Covid. The Crown is heavily favored here, and for the same reasons as Ted Lasso being a potential upset, that makes sense. Bridgerton is the other British based show with a decent chance here, with the rest of the shows having a more American focus. They’re all great, so it’s not an easy pick for which will win.
Special mention to Anya Taylor-Joy, who’s in the odds for two categories: Best Comedy Actress for Emma and Best Actress in a Limited Series for Queen’s Gambit. Considering she was also in the potential Golden Razzie winner The New Mutants, she had a heck of a year. She’s bound to win something (probably for the chess show), so worth taking a look.
