Who is going to win?

Moonlight

For the major film categories, both Moonlight and La La Land are expected to dominate, various critics labelling both masterpieces. For best actor in a drama, Casey Affleck is thought to be ahead for his turn in Manchester By The Sea, while best actor in comedy may very well go to outsider Ryan Reynolds for Deadpool.

Natalie Portman and Amy Adams are in hot contention for best actress in a drama, while musical will likely go to Hollywood darling Emma Stone. Foreign language film, meanwhile, sees a tough fight between Elle and Toni Erdman, both loved by critics.

Television wise, we can likely expect Atlanta to pick up the majority of comedy awards, Donald Glover’s series being a surprisingly fresh and hilarious show unlike any other. Drama wise, it's slightly more in the air but Game of Thrones and Stranger Things look set for multiple awards. Limited series, meanwhile, is a two-horse race between The People v OJ and The Night Of.
