If last year showed us anything is that the Golden Globe awards is one of the most unpredictable award shows around. Prior to the Globes in 2019, Rami Malek was seen as a nominee in the season but not a winner. After his win at the Globes, his road to an Oscar win began in which he swept the rest of the awards season. Also in 2019, Malek’s film, Bohemian Rhapsody shocked the world by winning Best Picture-Drama. What will shock us this year? Here are my final predictions of what/who will win, should win, and could win the big awards of the night.
