The past 12 months have been packed full of incredible cinematic releases, and with that, fantastic performances from both cast and crew. Because of this, making predictions for who will win each of the Golden Globes 2023 categories seems tougher than ever before.
Still, it does seem likely that Austin Butler will be celebrated as Best Actor (Drama), thanks to his turn as the King of Rock and Roll in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis movie. Cate Blanchett, meanwhile, is sitting pretty at the top of the Best Actress (Drama) category, thanks to her taking on the leading role of world-famous composer and conductor, Lydia Tár. As for Best Picture? The field is wide open, but we’re going with The Fabelmans. Having only made its premiere in recent months, it is fresh in the minds of those making the decisions.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever should ride high following its box office success and critical acclaim, while Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio could also pick up a few nominations. There are the usual suspects likely scattered around the categories, including The Fabelmans, Women Talking, and Everything Everywhere All at Once.
