So, the Directors Guild nominations came out today and let me tell you, I am thrilled by these nominations. I knew Hazanavicius and Payne were locks, and seeing Scorcese and Allen is great. The big surprise is probably my favorite in this entire awards season, and that is Mr. Fincher. Many are calling this a fluke, but I think he is truly deserving to be hear, heck maybe even win. It would be ironic if he wins this the year after dominating the awards season then lose the Director's Guild and then the Oscar. Tattoo has been mostly quiet on the awards front, so many saw it as a contender in the technical categories, but I think not. I think this might be your list come Oscar nominations, Fincher likely being in the weak spot for some one like Spielberg (War Horse) or Miller (Moneyball), we shall see what the cards hold for these men come the nominations. I could go on a rant about Terrance Malick's snub for Tree of Life, but hey at least Fincher was nominated so I ok with this list. Here is the list below:
Woody Allen for Midnight in Paris
David Fincher for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Michel Hazanavicius for The Artist
Alexander Payne for The Descendants
Martin Scorsese for Hugo
