Persönliche Favoriten sind mit dem ♥-Symbol gekennzeichnet, Tipps mit ☒. (Die tatsächlichen Gewinner werden nachträglich mit einem ★ hervorgehoben.) Wenn kein persönlicher Favorit angegeben ist, habe ich keinen der Filme gesehen, sondern nur über sie gelesen. Die Kategorien “Best Foreign Language Film” und “Best Mini-Series Or Motion Picture Made for Television” (sowie dementsprechend Best Performances by in diesen Kategorien) lasse ich außen vor, weil ich die Filme überhaupt nicht kenne.

Die Begründung der Auswahl und einige Gedanken zum Golden Globe gibt’s auch erst nachträglich, weil die Show ja gleich schon startet und jetzt keine Zeit mehr ist.
