What's the Sexiest Golden Globe Category this weekend?
by Nathaniel R
The 75th annual Golden Globe Awards hit this Sunday night on NBC (5 PM PT/8 PM ET) so I asked Team Film Experience and friends of TFE which category is making them the thirstiest? They answered like so but please do vote yourself in the commments won't you?
Ilich Mejia: The Supporting Actress film category left out both Pfeiffer and Kidman and I only broke five of my wine glasses. They win!
Dancin Dan: Best Supporting Actor. Dafoe, Hammer, Jenkins, Plummer, Rockwell... every different flavor of foxiness, and not a dud among them!
Sean McGovern: Both Leading Actor acting categories offer up a bit of what you like whether it's twinks (Chalamet, Elgort), the Daddy type (Daniel Day-Lewis) or, you know, just actual Dads (Tom Hanks).
Katey Rich: I feel weird about this, but Actor in a Comedy? Elgort/Franco/Jackman/Kaluuya kind of suit every possible taste.
Guy Lodge: I wouldn't kick anyone in Best Actor (Musical or Comedy) out of bed.
Lynn Lee: Lead Actor, Comedy lineup is very bangable - excluding Steve Carell, at least in Bobby Riggs mode; but even he cleans up pretty well.
Jorge Molina: I would watch Ansel Elgort, James Franco, Hugh Jackman, Steve Carrell and Daniel Kaluuya mud wrestle in an instant. But now that I think about it, I would also watch Nicole, Reese, Jessica Biel, Jessica Lange and Susan mud wrestle, albeit for very different reasons.
Ben Miller When Susan Sarandon is your least sexy nominee, you are doing something right!
Salim Garami: Best Comedy Actress is inhabited by Margot Robbie and Helen Mirren. Checkmate.
Which category gets your vote?

That’s easy: Best Actor in a TV Series - Drama. I mean, when you have Jason Bateman, Liev Shrieber, and Sterling K. Brown in a category, there really is no contest. (“Ladies, start your en-gines.”)
I'm with the majority, Lead Actor in a Comedy. There isn't a dud among them!
Lead Actor In A Comedy. No contest.
I don't really swing that way but both TV Lead Actress (Drama and Comedy) are chock full of hotties. Balfe, Foy, Gyllenhaal, Brie, Rae, etc.
But yeah, Best Actor in a Comedy for sure.
Ain't nothing sexier than the Indie Spirit's best actor category this year.
Susan Sarandon is sexy as fuck and you're an idiot, Ben Miller.
An impossible call between TV Movie/Miniseries Actress and TV Comedy Actress!
As we mentioned last year, the Golden Globes are as enamored with Helen Mirren as they are with Meryl Streep. Mirren has 15 nominations and 3 Globes (for a Miniseries for Losing Chase in 2013 and then two the same year, in film and TV for playing Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Elizabeth II). The funny thing is that they have not nominated her for The Madness of King George.
I guess the people who criticize Sarandon on this blog is the same people that would describe Obama as a pacifist.
Good Will Hunting -- not sure you deserve a nice response since you're name-calling BUT I do think Ben agrees with you and that you've just misinterpreted him.. It's high praise actually because everyone knows Sarandon is a major sexpot so if a category is even sexier than she is, it would have to be pretty shockingly sexy. (that's how i read it at least.)
Maya -- why do people get so touchy about defending Sarandon?! (she has not made it easy for people to love her lately... and this is coming from me who use to have a pic of her in my wallet of all places just because i always wanted her near). Not sure how any of this relates to Obama!
Love Sarandon in general,don't mind her politics,she's free to do what she likes without being villified online,but she's all wrong in Feud.
I'm fine with anyone winning as long as Three Billboards gets shut out.

I also read the Sarandon comment as that she's notably sexy so hers is a very sexy category this year.
Maya's Obama ref., re: Sarandon, may come from the fact that she's a 2008 supporter of his who (in)famously soured on him (somewhat) after he "left the grassroots on the lawn of the White House." Sarandon repeatedly criticized the Obama Administration for cracking down on whistleblowers (including the press), ramping up deportations, not curtailing fracking and generally not living up to the Nobel Peace Prize-era promise of closing Guantanamo, etc.
Jorge, you took the words right out of my mouth!
Best Supporting Actor. That's a good-looking bunch of dudes.
I still would like to fuck Susan Sarandon as long as she keeps her fucking mouth shut about politics.
What?!
Sarandon is so much hotter than Lange, it’s not even funny. I would say she was also hotter than Kidman but I just saw big little lies, so can’t say that no more - Kidman looked better in that than she has for years.
thevoid99 -- I bet she wouldn't fuck you.
The diss on Sarandon is because of her politics, not her looks. Looks-wise only Biel is hotter than her in her lineup, and that is a lot, considering she is decades older than Kidman and Witherspoon.
I feel sorry for her, as no one should be persecuted for their political views.
@Peggy Sue-That's fine. After all, she has no position to talk about politics since she still lives in a fucking mansion and have more money than the rest of us fucking peasants. Who the fuck does she think she is to talk to us about politics?
