In terms of predicting the Oscars (and the Emmys, much later), the Golden Globes are like an off-kilter weather app. Sometimes, they're right on track, predicting the winners of the future. Other times, they're wildly, bafflingly off-base, like when The Tourist was nominated for best comedy. Last year, though, the winners at the Globes were tidy predictions for the rest of the award circuit. Will this year be the same?
This year saw heavy, if repetitive, competition. Damien Chazelle's First Man is getting attention — remember when he had La La Land two years ago? Barry Jenkins (Mr. Moonlight) is also back, this time with If Beale Street Could Talk. Yorgos Lanthimos, perhaps best known for his tragicomic movie The Lobster, entered the competition with The Favourite, while Margot Robbie and Saoirse Ronan are back up to bat for their roles in Mary Queen of Scots. Meanwhile, a few newcomers are here, like Tamara Jenkins, whose movie A Private Life is earning accolades, and Joe Alwyn, who appears in both Mary Queen of Scots and The Favourite. And those are just the movies — the Golden Globes will also celebrate TV, one of the only award shows to do both.

The gang's all here; all the Hollywood Foreign Press has to do is nominate them. The ceremony, which you will be able to live stream, will air on January 6, 2019.
