The nominees are:
Danny Boyle "Slumdog Millionaire"
Stephen Daldry "The Reader"
David Fincher "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"
Ron Howard "Frost/Nixon"
Gus Van Sant "Milk"
How I predicted: 4/5 (missed Stephen Daldry)
You gotta give the guy at least a little bit of credit here. Stephen Daldry has directed 3 films so far in his career, and so far he's 3/3 for Best Director nominations. Quite impressive in any book. After years of churning out great film after great film, the right project comes along and David Fincher has collected his 1st, very well-deserved nod. After capturing almost every Best Director prize so far, the wonderful Danny Boyle will take home the prize here. I will make one little teeny tiny quip tho. How the heck does Christopher Nolan NOT get nominated! Even if they were too uptight to give The Dark Knight a Best Picture nod, it's an even bigger slap in the face to not honor Nolan's literally pitch-perfect direction. A tra...ves...ty.
My Prediction: DANNY BOYLE "SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE"
