BEST DRAMA

Will win: Mad Men
The classiest quality basic-cable series is as close as it gets to a sure-shot to win its third consecutive Globe in this category. It helps that its season finale, with the dramatic dismantling of the Sterling Cooper ad agency, was so exciting, and fresh in voters' minds.
Should win: Dexter
The show had its best season ever and its finest villain in guest star John Lithgow. A Dexter beset by a canny foe, plus marriage and parenthood, and a shocking season ending? Superb stuff.

THE WINNER: Mad Men
