Meryl Streep won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical and tied with Sandra Bullock at Critics Choice whilst Carey Mulligan won the BAFTA when Sandra Bullock was snubbed. Who was second in the race that year and how close were they to beating Bullock?

January 4, 2021 at 8:15 am #1203961374I actually think it was Gabourey Sidibe because Precious overperformed at the Awards in general and surprisingly won Screenplay when Up in the Air was considered one of the biggest locks of the night. Also Mo’Nique won so you know actors supported the film.

January 4, 2021 at 8:17 am #1203961380It was propably Sidibe, since Academy went crazy for Precious even giving it Adapted Screenplay in a huge upset.
ReplyCopy URLJanuary 4, 2021 at 8:21 am #1203961392I’m not convinced it was either of them. I think it easily could have been Gabourey Sidibe from Precious. She did win the Independent Spirit award and didn’t really miss nominations. Also, Precious winning the Adapted Screenplay Oscar showed wider support than just Mo’Nique. I think it was very close among those 3. I think Mirren was definitely 5th, but 2-4 was very close. Nobody really took the lead overall. Streep won NY and Globe and Mulligan won NSFC and BAFTA. But then you have Sidibe with the Spirit and many breakthrough performer wins in a film with multiple Oscars.

Oh, and probably Meryl. Huge wave of support after TDWP and Doubt.January 4, 2021 at 8:56 am #1203961494It was Meryl. Certainly not Gabby, sadly

ReplyCopy URLJanuary 4, 2021 at 9:48 am #1203961632I do think Streep was 2nd, although I would’ve voted for Mulligan among the nominees.
My personal vote would’ve been Kim Hye-ja for MOTHER.
I do have to say that I was quite charmed by JULIE & JULIA. I would even say it’s one of the very few of the surge of Streep nominations in recent years that I supported.

Mulligan won NBR, not NSFC, which went to Yolande Moreau for Séraphine.
ReplyCopy URLJanuary 4, 2021 at 8:00 pm #1203962898Second should have been Gabourey Sidibe, but it was probably Streep. I would placed Streep fourth in the lineup. Mulligan would be a strong third and Mirren would be fifth in votes. My preferences were as follows:
1. Sidibe

2. Mulligan
3. Streep
4. Mirren
5. BullockJanuary 4, 2021 at 9:44 pm #1203962979You guys are overreacting to Up in the Air’s loss in screenplay. Its director was involved in controversy over screen credit. So a lot of people didn’t want to see him win.

Same here.
