My Fave Pick:  Amy Ryan, Gone Baby Gone

Hands down the most exciting, frightening performance of the year is Ryan's turn as cocaine-loving, tight-pants-wearing, smack-talking Boston mother Helene McCready. You watch Ben Affleck's directorial debut and feel terrified at the thought of being in the same room with Helene. She's an animal, feral and nasty. Alas, Ryan is so tender with her character and the tough accent that Helene is always human, never a cliché. And that's a wicked freakin' awesome feat, so let's give her that Globe for Best Supporting Actress, Drama.

My picks for the rest of the biggies:

  • Best Motion Picture, Drama: No Country for Old Men
  • Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy: Hairspray
  • Best Series, Drama: Big Love
  • Best Series, Comedy or Musical: 30 Rock
