ACTRESS IN A DRAMA
❚ Jessica Chastain, Molly’s Game
❚ Sally Hawkins, The Shape of Water
❚ Frances McDormand, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
❚ Meryl Streep, The Post
❚ Michelle Williams, All the Money in the World Will win/should win: Frances McDormand
Streep and Hawkins are strong contenders because their roles power their projects, but this is McDormand’s season to rule — and to snag her first Globe win out of six nominations. Three Billboards completely hinges on her vengeful mom on a mission, and McDormand gives the character weight, complicated emotions and a wickedly dark sense of humor.
