With that in mind, and as the usual Golden Globes hype mounts, who will be nominated and who will win in 2023? Here are our predictions.

The past 12 months have been packed with incredible film releases and fantastic performances from the cast and crew. Because of this, it seems harder than ever to make predictions about who will win categories at the 2023 Golden Globes.

Still, it seems likely that Austin Butler will be acclaimed for Best Actor (Drama) for his role as the King of Rock and Roll in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis film. Cate Blanchett, on the other hand, sits fairly at the top of the Best Actress (Drama) category thanks to her take on the leading role of world-renowned composer and conductor Lydia Tár. As for the best picture? The field is wide open, but we’re going with The Fabelmans. Premiered only in the last few months, it is still fresh in the memory of the decision-makers.

There are the usual suspects, probably scattered across categories, including The Fabelmans, Women Talk, and Everything Everywhere All at Once.
