BEST DIRECTOR

Nominees

Updated: 1/31/12


1. Michel Hazanavicius (The Artist)	2. Martin Scorsese (Hugo)	3. Woody Allen (Midnight in Paris)	4. Terrence Malick (The Tree of Life)	5. Alexander Payne (The Descendants)
It's all Hazanavicius. The DGA win will propell him to the Oscar. It's over folks.	I was really hoping Scorsese could have pulled this off. I hold a little hope for an upset, but it's highly unlikely.	Woody Allen is back. He's got his nomination, and that's his only reward here. He should get a statue for screenplay though!	Malick took Refn's spot here, and I'm still a little sore about it, but AMPAS really showed TOL some love, so that's that.	I think Payne could be a dark horse here, If he pulls off a DGA win, the race will be blown wide open.

Maybe Next Time...
