Golden Globe Winner Predictions: Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama

The competition: Leonardo DiCaprio’s discontent 50s husband (Revolutionary Road), Frank Langella’s Richard Nixon (Frost/Nixon), Sean Penn’s Harvey Milk (Milk), Brad Pitt’s backwards-aging Benjamin (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), and Mickey Rourke’s aging wrestler desperate for a comeback (The Wrestler).
For your information: DiCaprio and Penn have both won this category before, for “The Aviator” and “Mystic River,” respectively.
Who should win: Penn and Rourke both delivered stunning performances.
Who will win: It’s an impossible call between Penn, Rourke, and Langella. My gut tells me that Langella, whose film scored five nominations, will prevail here.
