Director
|
PREDICTED WINNER |
 |
Martin Scorsese
"The Aviator" |
FOR HIM |
AGAINST HIM |
- America's greatest living director - Overdue - He is the sole reason why The Aviator suceeded - Lots of sentimental votes |
- DGA Loss - Academy snubbed him so many times so they can do it again - Clint Eastwood |
||
|
WHY |
|||
| This is definetely the most exciting and tightest race of the year. On one hand we have the most overdue director working today - Martin Scorsese. On the other hand we have the Hollywood's favorite director Clint Eastwood. I really can see both winning but I really can't predict against Marty. He is undoubtedly one of the best american directors ever and I am not sure if Academy will bitchslap him once again and deny him the Oscar that he also so deserves this year for "The Aviator". But DGA went with Clint Eastwood and didn't care that Marty had 6 nods and 0 wins so anything can really happen. I am crossing my fingers for Marty... | |||
