Locking Down Our Fantasy Oscar Picks and Forecasting the Comedy Golden Globes Categories

Megan’s back at the Water Cooler, and we’re looking harder at the upcoming Golden Globes nominations! This week, we tackle the Comedy Golden Globes races in film and television. On the TV side, will Fleabag continue its Emmy dominance and impress the Hollywood Foreign Press Association? Can it break the late-breaking Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 3? Or will Barry, Russian Doll, or even Schitt’s Creek jump into the mix? In the acting races, are new performances from Kirsten Dunst (On Becoming a God in Central Florida) or Ben Platt (The Politician) front runners? And on the film side, is it a Jojo Rabbit versus Once Upon a Time in Hollywood race? Will Cats break into the comedy/musical top five?

But first, we cover recent films we’ve seen in the lead-up to the lucrative Thanksgiving week box office. We also lock down our Fantasy Oscar picks just as the major critics and guilds groups start weighing in.

We close our podcast, as always, with the Flash Forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.

And we at the Water Cooler Podcast wish you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving!!!
