I’m predicting Glenn Close for a win at the Globes but I just looked into the GG Best Supp Actress winners historic and Close winning here would be kind of an anomaly. Since Cate Blanchett in 2008 for I’m Not There, every winner in this category were in a film that received multiple noms. The Reader, The Help, Precious, The Fighter, Les Misérables, American Hustle, Boyhood, I Tonya, Beale Street and Marriage Story were all nominated for Best Picture at the Globes. Fences only other nomination was for Best Actor but Viola Davis was the unquestionable frontrunner (Close isn’t) and Steve Jobs won Screenplay and there wasn’t a supporting actress from a BP nominee in the list this year.
Regarding this stat, I’m tempted to switch my prediction for Seyfried, I’d say she really “fits” here. Following this logic, Colman is also a strong possibility.
