2020 Golden Globe Predictions
Updated February 26th, 2021
We think the category here comes down to Anya Taylor-Joy versus Shira Haas. Both young stars have come in like wrecking balls with their Netflix series, and both stand as representations for their series overall. A potential split may happen here, with one of the ladies winning this category, while the other sees their series win the big prize. For now we’re leaning towards recency, with Taylor-Joy pulling off the win, and Haas as the potential spoiler.
1. Anya Taylor-Joy - The Queen’s Gambit

2. Shira Haas - Unorthodox

3. Nicole Kidman - The Undoing

4. Cate Blanchett - Mrs. America

5. Daisy Edgar Jones - Normal People
