Golden Globes 2014: Who Should Have Won

Awards season both fascinates and thoroughly pisses me off. I love seeing the stars dressed in their finest (or bizarrest) attire, but it's hard not to get biased when it comes to the actual award winners and losers. 

Clearly I have opinions. So here's what I would have liked to have seen happen in last night's Golden Globe Awards (in the important categories):

Best Supporting Actress: A three-way tie between Lupita N'yongo, June Squibb, and Julia Roberts

Look, I'm just as much of a Jennifer Lawrence fan as the next gal, but there's no way that role was more deserving than Lupita N'yongo's brutal 12 Years a Slave performance, June Squibb's hilariously crass role in Nebraska, or Julia Roberts at her most vicious.

Best Actress Comedy or Musical: Meryl Streep, August: Osage County

I know, I know. Meryl always wins and isn't it great that Amy Adams is finally getting some credit? Not really. Amy Adams' costume designer deserves more props than she did in American Hustle. Sure, she mastered not actually showing a nipple, but Meryl Streep's pill-infused performance was inspiring. 

Best Supporting Actor: Jared Leto, Dallas Buyers Club

Thoroughly deserved. 

Best Actress Drama: Sandra Bullock, Gravity

In the interest of full disclosure, I failed to see Blue Jasmine. But few performances can compare to Sandra Bullock's physical and emotional demands in Gravity.

Best Actor Musical or Comedy: Leonardo DiCaprio, The Wolf of Wall Street

Thoroughly deserved based on the Lude scene alone. 

Best Actor Drama: Matthew McConaughey, Dallas Buyers Club

Thoroughly deserved. I am so excited this awe-inspiring performance was properly rewarded. I'm equally nervous to see who wins between Matt and Leo for the Oscars.

Best Director: Alfonso Cuaron, Gravity

Thoroughly deserved based on the details of Sandra Bullock's moving leg fat in zero gravity.

Best Motion Picture Comedy or Musical: The Wolf of Wall Street or Nebraska

Not only is Wolf a three-hour spectacle that delivers delicious debauchery, but the acting tour de force is some of the best this season. And in terms of Nebraska, it is the little engine that could this season. The black and white film was hilarious and heartbreaking and certainly deserves more props than it will receive.

Best Motion Picture Drama: Gravity

I'm definitely OK with 12 Years a Slave taking home this prize, especially after it failed to win any other awards, but Gravity certainly deserved more trophies. Not to sound like every other critic out there, but the technological advancements in this film were truly inspiring, and Sandra Bullock's ability to captivate while on screen mainly by herself is practically unheard of (excluding Robert Redford's All Is Lost, obviously). 

And none for American Hustle, bye.
