Awards don’t always play out the way viewers might expect, so USA TODAY’s Brian Truitt predicts who will win and who should win in top movie categories at the 73rd Golden Globe Awards (NBC, Sunday, 8 p.m. ET/5 PT).

DRAMA

Carol

Mad Max: Fury Road

The Revenant

Room

Spotlight

Will win/should win: Spotlight
