Golden Globe Winner Predictions: Best Motion Picture – Drama

The competition: The Descendants, The Help, Hugo, The Ides of March, Moneyball, War Horse

For your information: “The Descendants,” and “The Ides of March” are the only two films nominated for both Best Director and Best Screenplay. “Hugo” scored a directing bid, and “Moneyball” a writing mention. “The Help” has three acting bids, “The Descendants” has two, and “The Descendants” and “The Ides of March” have one apiece. Since 2004, the winner of this category has only gone on to win the Best Picture Oscar once.

Who should win: “Moneyball” or “The Help”

Who will win: I think it’s going to be down to “The Descendants” and “Hugo,” with “The Help” nipping at their heels for an upset. I’ll call it for The Descendants.
