Golden Globes 2010 Predictions: Best Actress – Comedy or Musical


2010 Golden Globe Predictions: Best Actress – Comedy or Musical

Sandra Bullock in The Proposal

Sandra Bullock, The Proposal

A bossy Canadian businesswoman forces her American assistant (Ryan Reynolds) to marry her so she can stay in the US.

Daniel Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard in Nine

Marion Cotillard, Nine

The wife of an Italian filmmaker (Daniel Day-Lewis, above) must cope with both his infidelities and his artistic temper.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Zooey Deschanel in (500) Days of Summer

Zooey Deschanel, (500) Days of Summer

A young woman meets a young man (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, above) who falls madly in love with her. Too bad she doesn’t feel the same.

Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin in It's Complicated

Meryl Streep, It’s Complicated

A divorced woman begins an affair with her remarried ex-husband (Alec Baldwin, above), while becoming the object of another man’s desire (that’s Steve Martin).

Meryl Streep in Julie and Julia

Meryl Streep, Julie & Julia

Julia Child and the art of cooking.

The Golden Globe field here is considerably less crowded than in the Best Actress – Drama category.

Marion Cotillard may have what amounts to a supporting role in Nine, but she’ll probably get in as a lead. Meryl Streep will quite likely be competing against herself, unless some Hollywood Foreign Press Association members decide that they want one more nominated star at their party; that’ll probably mean either Streep’s Julie & Julia co-star Amy Adams, playing a blogger out to make every recipe found in Julia Child’s first cooking book, or Katherine Heigl, who plays a morning-television show producer at odds with Gerard Butler in The Ugly Truth.

Renee Zellweger’s star turn in Richard Loncraine’s My One and Only is another possibility.

Less likely possibilities are either Kate Hudson or Anne Hathaway for the comedy Bride Wars, Jennifer Garner for Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, and Isla Fischer for Confessions of a Shopaholic.

As much as the HFPA members would love to have Miley Cyrus at their party, I don’t believe that Cyrus’ performance in Hannah Montana The Movie stands a chance. But then again, HFPA members can always vote for one of the film’s songs or have Cyrus show up as a presenter.
