No, he won't even be nominated. The nominees will be:

John Hillcoat
Ang Lee
Ridley Scott
Lana Wachowski, Tom Tykwer and Andy Wachowski
Joe Wright

:D

But you know, they could just say Fuck Ang Lee. It is obvious the Academy doesn't liek him much. He was snubbed for Best Director nom for Sense and Sensibility, lost Best Director for Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon after winning the Golden Globe and DGA and Brokeback Mountain lost BP after having sweeped everything before the ceremony. Now Life of Pi is, above all things, a directorial achievement, so it would be very surprising, but it could happen.


Yeah I'm afraid so. He seems to be on the short end of the stick a lot of times with academy.

Look like 7 competing for 5 spots right now with Spielberg/Affleck/Lee/Hooper/Bigelow/Russell/PTA, with Tarantino/Jackson unknown and Haneke as a wild card.

I believe David O. Russell is out, even with Harvey's muscle. I am predicting:

Affleck
Bigelow
Hooper
Lee
Spielberg

If Django Unchained truly catches fire with critics and audiences, I might have to (sadly) cut Ang Lee and replace him with Tarantino.

This may be rude, but it blows Hooper has a guaranteed spot. ;)

Yep, Hooper shouldn't have even gotten a spot for The King's Speech, honestly, he was easily the weakest link to that movie.

He doesn't. Not anymore.

Spielberg and Bigelow are locks. And from the sound of it, Tarantino will make it in there again.

The last two spots will be between Ang Lee, David O. Russell and Ben Affleck. I see Affleck and Lee making it.

Nah, Affleck's in the Top 3 with Bigelow and Spielberg, with a dogfight for the last two slots.

We haven't heard mch about Django yet, but I am sensing yet another triumph for Tarantino.

Thing about Argo....it was a huge story in October, but now Lincoln and Zero Dark Thirty are completely stealing its thunder.

They are, but Affleck should be well-liked enough that he still makes it in. The reviews are still great, it actually made the Top 3 in both Picture and Directing at NYFCC, and actors-turned-directors tend to do really well when they succeed as Affleck has.

I am still predicting him too, but I think Tarantino will overshadow him more.

Do you think the reviews are going to bounce back up or do you think he'll get in regardless of critics.

I believe it will finish in the 70-80 range on Metacritic and be an enormous crowd pleaser/financial hit.

You can't possibly think he's a lock, though.

This looks pretty likely, unless the Academy is not big on Django and loves Les Mis.

Russell is not getting in over Hooper. No. Fucking. Way. And that is coming from a HUGE fan of SLP.

Dennis Hopper returned from the land of the dead to tell Jean Valjean's story.

I don't believe either Hooper or Russell will be nominated at this point:

Affleck
Bigelow
Lee
Spielberg
Tarantino

Could PTA pull a Terrence Malick? Malick got no DGA/BAFTA/BFCA/GG noms last year as well and yet was nominated.

Pretty amazing Ang Lee is the only director who received nominations from DGA, BAFTA, and Oscar this year. Then he also added GG to the list. I think he should win BAFTA given there is no Spielberg there.
