We're only two days away from one of the biggest nights in Hollywood — the Golden Globe Awards! The evening when TV and film stars come together to celebrate their amazing achievements this year. Hosted by Ricky Gervais, the ceremony is sure to be a hit, but who will walk away with the trophies? OK! is ready to share our predictions!
OK! GALLERY: ALL THE STARS STEP OUT FOR THE CRITICS' CHOICE AWARDS!
To start off, we have to discuss the leading men in a Motion Picture: Drama — could the nominees in this category get any more talented? George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ryan Gosling, Michael Fassbender and Brad Pitt are all up for the award, but our bets are on Mr. Clooney, who walked away with the Critics' Choice Award last night. His performance in The Descendants is truly incredible.
Now onto the women nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture: Drama. It comes down to Viola Davis and Meryl Streep for us. Viola's performance in The Help is Oscar-worthy, as is Meryl's in The Iron Lady. But although The Help got multiple nominations all around, many say Meryl is the only good part of The Iron Lady. So, will Viola win? We think so.

We also have a feeling Michelle Williams will take home the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture: Comedy or Musical for playing Marilyn Monroe in My Week with Marilyn. And Ryan Gosling should nab the trophy for Best Actor in this category for his hilarious, and endearing, performance in Crazy, Stupid, Love. Come on, the guy deserves it!
As for the television categories, Julianna Margulies should win, once again, for The Good Wife, while Bryan Cranston deserves the win for Breaking Bad. Of course, we have a notion that American Horror Story's creepy star Jessica Lange will win Supporting Actress, while Emmy winner Peter Dinklange will hopefully take it home for Game of Thrones.
