1. Linklater
2. Anderson
3. Miller
4. Iñárritu
5. Tyldum

I prefer The Imitation Game to Birdman as an overall entertainment, but I put Iñárritu slightly above Tyldum in recognition of Birdman's finest attributes, notably its sleight-of-hand visual presentation.

Meh, maybe Inarritu but I couldn't care less. Linklater's going to win for his crap anyway.

3. Anderson
4. Miller
5. Tyldum

I'm fine with any of these winning, but the top two especially. Even Anderson I suppose. All three gave us something different.

Inarritu
Anderson
Linklater

Inarritu was flashier.
Anderson was gloriously cinematic (though I think what Inarritu did was slightly more impressive).
Linklater was more of a manager. The film is really an achievement in editing more than anything else.
