Golden Globes Preview: Forest Whitaker vs. Leonardo Dicaprio

Posted by Bossip Staff

Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland) goes up against Leonardo Dicaprio (The Departed and Blood Diamond) for Best Performance by Actor tonight. Forest Whitaker shouldn’t have a problem winning tonight although Dicaprio has two entries for Best Performance by an Actor. Will Smith (In Pursuit of Happyness) is also in this category but is seen as a long shot.

Prediction: Forest Whitaker

Note: Forest Whitaker has already beaten out Dicaprio a couple times in recent weeks and we expect the trend to continue.

Beyonce (Dreamgirls) is up against Meryl Streep (The Devil Wears Prada) for Best Actress.

Prediction: Meryl Streep

We expect Eddie Murphy and Jhud to take home awards tonight for Best Supporting Actor and Actress (Dreamgirls).

If you missed The Last King of Scotland, the DVD comes out next month and should be scooped. Forest Whitaker actually becomes Ugandan leader Idi Amin and his performance is sick. You can also see Kerry Washington in the movie.
