 Who should have missed BD over Affleck? I'm not including Benh Zeitlin or Michael Haneke, as those are the obvious choices, even though I believe both to be deserving. Plus I'm glad they went against the grain and nominated the two directors that everyone included as potential dark horse contenders with no actual chance of a nomination.
So if you think Affleck deserved a Best Director nomination at the Oscars, who of the remaining three should have missed instead?

Re: Who should have missed BD over Affleck? Affleck did not deserve a nomination.
I would kick out David O. Russell or Steven Spielberg for Kathryn Bigelow, though.

Re: Who should have missed BD over Affleck? Yea, Affleck didn't really deserve it, in my opinion. I'd probably switch out Spielberg for Bigelow as well, and Lee for Tarantino, though the latter two are at about the same level for me.

I would kick out David O. Russell or Steven Spielberg for Kathryn Bigelow, though. Kathryn Bigelow wasn't nominated as a balancer for not deserving her previous best director Oscar.

Re: Who should have missed BD over Affleck? Lincoln is good because of DDL and the script. Spielberg brought shit to it.

Don't know if she deserved one for ZDT, but the win(s) for THL is one of the most painful wins in history of Oscars for me. It trumps even Crash.

Re: Who should have missed BD over Affleck? Umm, Russell. I love Silver Linings Playbook, but Affleck's direction was much superior.

Re: Who should have missed BD over Affleck? After having seen Argo yesterday, I don't think Affleck has been snubbed. Sure, it's a really nice and tight movie, but it's slightly under his last effort The Town IMHO.
