Oscar Predictions Following The Golden Globes

Now that we are in 2017, the award season has officially begun. This was kicked off on Sunday, January 8th with the Golden Globe Awards. This honors the best in film and television, but with the Oscar nominations being announced on January 24th, this award ceremony was a crucial part of who is getting nominated for the Academy Awards.

The Golden Globes branches out into two categories of film- Drama and Comedy/Musical. The Comedy/Musical category was obviously dominated by "La La Land." It was nominated for a total of six Golden Globes, and won in every category, including Best Comedy/Musical film. This is very impressive and is very telling for the Oscars race. It is the clear favorite to win Best Picture at the Oscars, and I can also see it winning Best Director, Best Score, and Best Original Song, among other awards it could possibly be nominated for.

As for the acting categories, there were two winners for the Drama category, and two winners for Comedy/Musical. There were also Best Supporting Actor and Actress, but they were combined between the two categories. For the Comedy/Musical category, those were won by the two leading roles in "La La Land," Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling. For Drama, Casey Affleck won for "Manchester by the Sea" and Isabelle Hupert won for the French film "Elle." For the supporting roles, Viola Davis won for "Fences" and Aaron Taylor-Johnson for "Nocturnal Animals."

I have my predictions set up for the Leading Actor and Actress category for the Oscars, this is what I think:

Best Actor: Casey Affleck ("Manchester by the Sea"), Ryan Gosling ("La La Land"), Denzel Washington ("Fences"), Andrew Garfield ("Hacksaw Ridge"), Joel Edgerton ("Loving").

Best Actress: Emma Stone ("La La Land"), Amy Adams ("Arrival"), Meryl Streep ("Florence Foster Jenkins"), Isabelle Hupert ("Elle"), Natalie Portman ("Jackie").

I personally think Casey Affleck is a shoe-in to the Oscar for Best Actor with his emotional performance in "Manchester by the Sea." Ryan Gosling could give him a race, but I am pretty positive the Oscar is going to Affleck and righteously so. The race for Best Actress is a more competitive race. Amy Adams has been nominated for five Oscars and has never won, and she gave a great performance in the film "Arrival." I personally would like to see Natalie Portman or Emma Stone win. It is too close to pick a definite winner!

For Best Picture, I definitely think "La La Land" has great potential of winning the biggest award of the night. However, "Moonlight" won the Golden Globe for Best Film- Drama. Personally, I would rather see "Moonlight" win Best Picture, it was a beautiful film and I predict that Mahershala Ali will win Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars. But it isn't that likely with all of the buzz and success around "La La Land."

Keep an eye out, the SAG Awards and the BAFTA Awards are approaching, which can also influence the Oscars race. The big night is February 26th, we will see what happens from now until then!

Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
