The 74th annual [Golden Globes](http://time.com/4622015/golden-globes-2017-preview/) will air live on Jan. 8 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC. Though the Hollywood Foreign Press Association always has a [surprise](http://time.com/4596105/golden-globes-movie-nominations-surprises-2017/) (or a few) up its sleeves, here are the [nominees](http://time.com/4597608/golden-globes-nominees-2017/) we’re betting on to take home golden statues Sunday night.

### Best Picture, Drama

![](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2ce5a55e9b4b05bd/6988b48fa988ca72826ba907/moonlight-golden-globes.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

David Bornfriend

_Hacksaw Ridge |_ _Hell or High Water | Lion | Manchester by the Sea|_ **_Moonlight_**

Barry Jenkins’ coming-of-age tale in three parts—lead character Chiron is played by three different actors at three different ages—is one of the most original pieces of storytelling to emerge in 2016\. Though it faces stiff competition from _Manchester by the Sea_, expect it to continue its [winning streak](http://time.com/4584003/gotham-awards-moonlight-best-feature-oscars/) Sunday night.

### Best Picture, Comedy or Musical

![La La Land](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt992de519fcfea158/6988b48f0b72e344856ec2d9/la-la-land-golden-globes.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

_20th Century Women | Deadpool | Florence Foster Jenkins |_ **_La La Land_** _| Sing Street_

Though _Deadpool_ would be the irreverent choice and _20th Century Women_ is eminently deserving, the HFPA is unlikely to resist the melancholy charm of this modern Technicolor musical, which also happens to be about its favorite subject: Hollywood.

### Best Actress, Drama

![Jackie](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7d450155fbdb0a38/6988b48e196cf447cd03e676/natalie-portman-golden-globes.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Stephanie Branchu—20th Century Fox

Isabelle Huppert, _Elle |_ **Natalie Portman,** **_Jackie_** _|_ Ruth Negga, _Loving |_ Amy Adams, _Arrival |_ Jessica Chastain, _Miss Sloane_

This is easily one of the most competitive categories: Isabelle Huppert has collected a nice stash of awards so far for _Elle_, Ruth Negga’s performance in _Loving_ is arguably the most overlooked of the bunch, and with two Globes and four additional nominations, Amy Adams is a darling of the HFPA. But Natalie Portman has the edge for her multilayered performance of the former first lady in Pablo Larraín’s unconventional biographical drama.


Review: [_Jackie_ Places the First Lady Under a Microscope](http://time.com/4587692/jackie-first-lady-review/)

### Best Actor, Drama

![Casey Affleck](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt69c55df215a68fa4/6988b48e428a9ed14fcd563c/casey-affleck-golden-globes.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Roadside Attractions

**Casey Affleck,** **_Manchester by the Sea_** _|_ Joel Edgerton, _Loving |_ Andrew Garfield, _Hacksaw Ridge |_ Viggo Mortensen, _Captain Fantastic |_ Denzel Washington, _Fences_

What began as a tight race between Casey Affleck and Denzel Washington now has Affleck edging out Washington. Seemingly unhampered by the resurfacing of [allegations of sexual misconduct](http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/11/22/casey-affleck-s-dark-secret-the-disturbing-allegations-against-the-oscar-hopeful.html) from his past, he’s racked up award after award for his performance as a taciturn janitor who becomes his nephew’s guardian. Washington was just last year honored with the Cecil B. DeMille award, which the HFPA may consider a sufficient demonstration of love for the moment.


Review: [Casey Affleck is the Anchor and Soul of _Manchester by the Sea_](http://time.com/4575255/manchester-by-the-sea-movie-review/)

### Best Actress, Comedy or Musical

![Emma Stone](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt90c73beba08d8619/6988b48d0a4a2252189cc78d/emma-stone-golden-globes.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Summit Entertainment

Annette Bening, _20th Century Women |_ Lily Collins, _Rules Don’t Apply |_ Hailee Steinfeld, _The Edge of Seventeen |_ **Emma Stone,** **_La La Land_** _|_ Meryl Streep, _Florence Foster Jenkins_

Competition’s going to be fierce when the Oscars roll around and the ten women nominated for leading actress at the Globes are winnowed down to a tight group of five. But Emma Stone’s glowing performance as an aspiring actress makes her a favorite here, not to mention that she also sings and dances, which the Globes have a tendency to reward (see: Reese Witherspoon for _Walk the Line_, Marion Cotillard for _La Vie en Ros_e, Renée Zellweger for _Chicago_, Nicole Kidman for _Moulin Rouge!_ and so on).


Feature: [Here’s How They Made _La La Land_’s Extravagant Opening Musical Number](http://time.com/4594589/la-la-land-opening-scene-musical-another-day-of-sun/)

### Best Actor, Comedy or Musical

![colin-farrell](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltcffbdd146333917f/6988b497428a9e1b58cd564c/colin-farrell-golden-globes-2.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

A24

**Colin Farrell,** **_The_** **_Lobster_** _|_ Ryan Gosling, _La La Land_ _|_ Hugh Grant, _Florence Foster Jenkins |_ Jonah Hill, _War Dogs |_ Ryan Reynolds, _Deadpool_

The frontrunners here are the Ryans: Gosling as the obvious choice (particularly because he’s never won) and Reynolds as the surprise move. But the HFPA is known to diverge from even the _surprises_ you might expect, and Colin Farrell’s excellent performance in Yorgos Lanthimos’ absurdist love story is as worthy of bling as the rest of them.

### Best Director

![Damien Chazelle](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9873f1a89caedf6d/6988b48b0a4a22f83b9cc784/damien-chazelle-golden-globes.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

**Damien Chazelle,** **_La La Land_** _|_ Tom Ford, _Nocturnal Animals |_ Mel Gibson, _Hacksaw Ridge |_ Barry Jenkins, _Moonlight |_ Kenneth Lonergan, _Manchester by the Sea_

_La La Land_ is a feast for the eyes, a delightfully choreographed tribute to Hollywood that manages to honor the old and usher in something new all at once. The movie’s overall awards season campaign seems to have enough momentum to carry Damien Chazelle to a win—not just this Sunday, but come the last Sunday in February.

### Best Supporting Actress

![Viola Davis](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt79ac12bf4645d54a/6988b48d2dce0171bd9ebd84/viola-davis-golden-globes.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Paramount Pictures


**Viola Davis,** **_Fences_** _|_ Naomie Harris, _Moonlight |_ Nicole Kidman, _Lion |_ Octavia Spencer, _Hidden Figures |_ Michelle Williams, _Manchester by the Sea_

The road to Viola Davis’ potential Globes and Oscars wins began with the decision to [campaign her](http://www.indiewire.com/2016/10/fences-viola-davis-oscar-supporting-actress-1201739476/) in what was assumed to be a less stacked supporting actress category, as compared to the leading actress category—though it’s hard to argue that this group isn’t stacked with talent. But this is Davis’ fifth nomination, for the reprisal of a role that earned her a Tony, and heading into Sunday night, it’s hers to lose.

Review: [Reverent Fences Works So Hard…It Stops Working](http://time.com/4604956/fences-review-denzel-washington/)

### Best Supporting Actor

![Moonlight](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8d31a1a2dc325d32/6988b48d0b72e32ef66ec2d5/mahershala-ali-golden-globes.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

David Bornfriend—A24


**Mahershala Ali,** **_Moonlight_** _|_ Jeff Bridges, _Hell or High Water |_ Simon Helberg, _Florence Foster Jenkins |_ Dev Patel, _Lion |_ Aaron Taylor Johnson, _Nocturnal Animals_

_Moonlight_‘s entire ensembledelivers memorable performances, but Mahershala Ali stands out for his portrayal of a drug dealer-slash-father figure who obliterates nearly every stereotype one might associate with the role. His performance is tenderness incarnate and 2016 was a breakout year for him, so unless Jeff Bridges manages to sneak in, the HFPA is likely to recognize his rising star. 

### Best Animated Film

![Zootopia](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltafe1b6ea0fa253fa/6988b48f656a3f5987bce4bd/zootopia-golden-globes.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Disney

_Kubo and the Two Strings | Moana | My Life as a Zucchini | Sing |_ **_Zootopia_**


_Zootopia_ was not just the most relevant animated movie last year—taking on racial profiling, discrimination, tokenism and biological determinism, among other subjects—it’s also constantly entertaining and never pedantic. Though the stop-motion _Kubo and the Two Strings_ would be an interesting outside pick, the HFPA has only given this award out for a decade, and Disney/Pixar have snagged eight of the ten awards. 

Review: [Zootopia Gives the Old Teachable Moment a Jolt of Life](http://time.com/4247121/review-zootopia-teachable-moment/)

### Best Foreign Language Film

![Toni Erdmann](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt943ef77c275a1c3c/6988b48cab6d773fd06ac641/toni-erdmann-golden-globes.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Sony Pictures Classics

_Divines | Elle | Neruda | The Salesman |_ **_Toni Erdmann_**

Aside from being a delightful, refreshing take on the father-daughter bond, Maren Ade’s German comedy is the leader of the pack when it comes to the Oscars, and the HFPA has anointed the foreign film that would go on to win the Academy Award five out of the last six years. In a close race with _Elle_, which did not make the Academy’s shortlist for foreign films, _Erdmann_ has the edge.

### Best Screenplay

![Manchester by the Sea](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta7762e61330d8e8d/6988b48c5f570f3729b23af7/kenneth-lonergan-golden-globes.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Damien Chazelle, _La La Land |_ Tom Ford, _Nocturnal Animals |_ Barry Jenkins, _Moonlight |_ **Kenneth Lonergan,** **_Manchester by the Sea_** _|_ Taylor Sheridan, _Hell or High Water_

Kenneth Lonergan is one of the best scribes of dialogue working today. The natural ease with which his characters communicate—even when they’re communicating the most difficult things to talk about, or refusing to communicate altogether—is what makes _Manchester by the Sea_ so devastating and, if only in fleeting moments, hopeful.

### Best Original Song


![MOANA](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt222574a7e3d42c99/6988b48b524fc0dbd9dfaa2b/moana-golden-globes.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

MOANA is an adventurous, tenacious and compassionate 16-year-old who sails out on a daring mission to save her people. Along the way, she discovers the one thing she's always sought: her own identity. Directed by the renowned filmmaking team of Ron Clements and John Musker (“The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin,” “The Princess & the Frog”) and featuring newcomer Auli'I Cravalho as the voice of Moana, Walt Disney Animation Studios' “Moana” sails into U.S. theaters on Nov. 23, 2016\. ©2016 Disney.

_La La Land_ may have a leg up on all things musical, but 2016 was also the year of [Lin-Manuel Miranda](http://time.com/4607907/lin-manuel-miranda-donald-trump/) (see: Pulitzers, Tonys, Grammys, Billboard charts), and of the songs he wrote for Disney’s first animated film set in the South Pacific (including many co-written with Opetaia Foa’i and Mark Mancina), “How Far I’ll Go” is the kind of feel-good self-empowerment anthem that’s kept Disney lyrics in the mouths of babes for decades.

LLL d 41-42\_6689.NEF Summit Entertainment

_Moonlight |_ **_La La Land_** _| Arrival | Lion | Hidden Figures_

Considering that it’s a musical—and it’s been years and years since we’ve seen one in this category (don’t make ‘em like they used to, or at all, really)—_La La Land_ is likely to add this trophy to its pile Sunday night.

### Best Television Series, Drama

The Crown Alex Bailey—Netflix


**_The Crown_**_|_ _Game of Thrones_ _|_ _Stranger Things_ _| This Is Us | Westworld_

Thanks to its royal subjects and reported $100 million budget, _The Crown_ has prestige written all over it, and the HFPA loves a good prestige show—especially a European one.

**_Atlanta_**_| Black-ish | Mozart in the Jungle | Transparent | Veep_

The Globes tend to reward less traditional newcomers in this category like _Brooklyn Nine-Nine_ and _Mozart in the Jungle_ over long-standing Emmy-winners like _Veep_. Critical darling _Atlanta_ fits the bill with its sardonic approach to issues of race, money and gender and detours into magical realism.

Stranger Things Curtis Baker—Netflix

Caitriona Balfe, _Outlander_ _|_ Claire Foy, _The Crown_ _|_ Keri Russell, _The Americans_ _|_ **Winona Ryder,** **_Stranger Things_**_|_ Evan Rachel Wood, _Westworld_

Everyone loves a comeback kid. Winona Ryder was perfectly cast in this nostalgic 80s throwback, and her story and star power are too much for the HFPA to resist.

Rami Malek, _Mr. Robot_ _|_ Bob Odenkirk, _Better Call Saul_ _|_ **Matthew Rhys,** **_The Americans_** _|_ Liev Schreiber, _Ray Donovan_ _|_ Billy Bob Thornton, _Goliath_

Despite being a critical favorite, _The Americans_ has been overlooked year after year at awards shows, as have the two stars, Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell. With the Cold War drama ending in 2018, the HFPA may finally feel compelled to reward one of the show’s two spies.

Anne Marie Fox—HBO

Rachel Bloom, _Crazy Ex-Girlfriend_ _|_ Julia Louis-Dreyfus, _Veep_ _|_ Sarah Jessica Parker, _Divorce_ _|_ **Issa Rae,** **_Insecure_** _|_ Gina Rodriguez, _Jane the Virgin_


The HFPA tends to recognize promising, new talent in this category, including Gina Rodriguez of _Jane the Virgin_ and Rachel Bloom of _Crazy Ex-Girlfriend_. This year, Issa Rae, who writes and stars in _Insecure,_ will win the prize—if she can beat out Globe favorite Sarah Jessica Parker.

The beloved comedy _Black-ish_ and its star Anthony Anderson may finally get their due after the show aired its version of a “very special episode” on Black Lives Mater last year. (Anderson’s co-star Tracee Ellis Ross is again robbed in her category.)

_American Crime_ _| The Dresser | The Night Manager | The Night Of |_ **_The People v. O.J. Simpson_**

The O.J. Simpson case is the perfect platform for searing social commentary—on racism, sexism, the media, fame and the flaws of our criminal justice system—and this show will be rewarded for capturing those complexities without shying away from their contemporary implications.

Riley Keough, _The Girlfriend Experience_ _|_ **Sarah Paulson,** **_The People v. O.J. Simpson_** _|_ Charlotte Rampling, _London Spy_ _|_ Kerry Washington, _Confirmation_ _|_ Felicity Huffman, _American Crime_

Sarah Paulson keeps racking up awards for this performance, and with good reason: She found compassion and heroism in Marcia Clark, a person many had ridiculed.

Riz Ahmed, _The Night Of_ _|_ Bryan Cranston, _All the Way_ _|_ Tom Hiddleston, _The Night Manager_ _|_ John Turturro, _The Night Of_ _|_ **Courtney B. Vance,** **_The People v. O.J. Simpson_**

Courtney B. Vance won the Emmy in this category and as the standout performance in this mini-series, he seems a shoe-in unless John Turturro (and his beleaguered feet from _The Night Of_) gives him a run for his money.


### Best Supporting Actress, Television Series

John P. Johnson—HBO

Olivia Colman, _The Night Manager_ _|_ Lena Headey, _Game of Thrones_ _|_ Chrissy Metz, _This Is Us_ _|_ Mandy Moore, _This Is Us_ _|_ **Thandie Newton,** **_Westworld_**

Thandie Newton was one of the standout stars of _Westworld_, and her win in this category could represent the passing of the torch at HBO as _Game of Thrones_ approaches its finale seasons.

### Best Supporting Actor, Television Series

Sterling K. Brown, _The People v. O.J. Simpson_ | Hugh Laurie, _The Night Manager_ _|_ John Lithgow, _The Crown_ _|_ Christian Slater, _Mr. Robot_ _|_ **John Travolta,** **_The People v. O.J. Simpson_**

John Travolta’s stiffest competition is his _O.J._ co-star, Sterling K. Brown. But the HFPA loves movie stars (maybe even more than their actual accomplishments), and Travolta’s star power will put him over the edge and give him his third Golden Globe.
