NEW YORK—Dramatic period pieces will vie for the top comedy-musical awards and song-stuffed movies are poised to dominate the dramatic categories. But the Globes, reliably the frothiest, quirkiest and most entertaining stop in the awards-season march to the Academy Awards, might feel especially upside down this year. A Star is Born is a Golden Globes favourite in four major categories, with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga both up for top acting honours. It’s the favourite for Best Picture (Drama), Best Actress (Lady Gaga), Best Song (”Shallow”) and Best Actor (Cooper). Oscar voting, as it turns out this year, commences Monday, the morning after the Golden Globes.
