The 2020 Golden Globe Awards air Sunday night, January 5. So who will win when prizes are handed out? Scroll down for our complete film predictions listed in order of our racetrack odds, with our projected winners highlighted in gold. And make or update your own predictions right here.
The Globes honor the best achievements in both film and television, and they’re one of the highest-profile events of the awards season. But unlike the Oscars, which are decided by thousands of members of the motion picture academy, the Globes are decided by fewer than 100 international journalists who make up the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
Our odds, meanwhile, are calculated by combining the predictions of thousands of registered Gold Derby users. That includes Expert journalists from top media outlets, the Editors who cover awards year-round for Gold Derby, the Top 24 Users who got the highest scores predicting last year’s Globe winners for film, and the All-Star Top 24 who got the highest predictions scores when you combine results from the last couple of years.
Then of course there’s our biggest predictions bloc by far: the everyday Users like you. One of you will probably put the rest of us to shame with your spot-on picks.
Last year, our consensus odds correctly predicted 71% of the film winners (10 out of 14). The four categories we missed were Best Score (“First Man” beat our front-runner “Mary Poppins Returns”), Best Screenplay (“Green Book” beat “The Favourite”), Best Film Drama Actress (“The Wife’s” Glenn Close upset “A Star is Born’s” Lady Gaga) and the big one, Best Film Drama, where “A Star is Born” was overtaken by “Bohemian Rhapsody,” which actually ranked dead last in our odds in that race.
That’s good news for this year’s underdogs: the Hollywood Foreign Press can be a fickle bunch. Check out our official odds below, and place your own bets here in our predictions center.
