Cinematical Picks: The Golden Globe Winners -- Best Original Score

Filed under: Awards », Fandom »

Best Original Score

Nominees:

Into the Wild

Grace is Gone

Kite Runner

Atonement

Eastern Promises


Predicted Winner: Atonement



Atonement is a powerful, beautiful, and heart-tugging achievement from Joe Wright, one that is strengthened by Dario Marianelli's haunting score. It's the sort that slides into your skin and stays with you well after the film is over and the curtain is closed. The staff here at Cinematical thinks Atonement will nab the prize for Best Original Score.

Cinematical Picks: The Golden Globe Winners -- Best Original Song

Filed under: Music & Musicals », Awards », Polls »

Best Original Song

Nominees:

"Despedida" -- Love in the Time of Cholera

Music by Shakira & Antonio Pinto, Lyrics by Shakira

"Grace is Gone" -- Grace is Gone

Music by Clint Eastwood, Lyrics by Carole Bayer Singer

"Guaranteed" -- Into the Wild

Music and Lyrics by Eddie Vedder

"That's How You Know" -- Enchanted

Music and Lyrics by Alan Menken

"Walk Hard" -- Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

Music and Lyrics by Judd Apatow, John C. Reilly, Marshall Crenshaw, & Jake Kasdan

Predicted Winner: "Walk Hard" from Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

Ultimately, this race always comes down to star power and hummability. I couldn't hum you the melody of the first three songs if my life depended on it (there was a song in Grace is Gone?), and the tune from Enchanted is catchy enough but sounds like something Menken left off the Little Mermaid soundtrack. That leaves "Walk Hard," the most memorable number from a very funny film, written by a dream team of cool dudes. They've got to give Apatow something this year, right?

Cinematical Picks: The Golden Globe Winners -- Best Screenplay

Best Screenplay

Nominees:

Diablo Cody -- Juno

Joel & Ethan Coen -- No Country for Old Men

Christopher Hampton -- Atonement

Ronald Harwood -- The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

Aaron Sorkin -- Charlie Wilson's War

Predicted Winner: Diablo Cody -- Juno

Often, it's not the finest writing that wins the screenplay award, it's the flashiest. Cinematical doesn't think Globe voters will be able to pass up Diablo Cody's hyper-verbose, show-offy script, chock full of memorable one-liners and quotable dialogue. Plus, Hollywood just can't get enough of her stripper-turned-screenwriter tale. Juno what I'm saying?
