And be miraculpusly nominated for Best Director, with the film missing the longer Best Picture lineup?

For the record, I don't think this will happen, but then again, no one thought it would happen last year.


I can actually imagine it happening to George Miller. Mad Max missing the BAFTA nom is quite a hit to the film's chances and at the end of the day, it is the 4th movie in a post-apocalyptic action saga. Still hard to imagine it being embraced by the stuffy Academy.

Another candidate is Denis Villeneuve for Sicario.

George Miller. Maybe Todd Haynes. Or someone completely off the radar like László Nemes.

I was thinking Villaneuve for this. I don't see Sicario getting in Best Picture but the directors could go out of their way to nominate him

Even though I predicted Creed in the other thread, I can see it missing and Coogler getting a nom.

Son of Saul is one to watch out for. this is Sony pictures classic's only contender, and they pushed through surprising director nominations for Foxcatcher and Amour,

Quentin Tarantino with the Director nom out of nowhere maybe?

Yeah, there is a chance it could surprise, but it is so tiny compared to the other two.

I stll think Miller might be nominated with Mad Max being snubbed.
