(The official site for the Oscars could not, it seems, find a picture of Scorsese directing DiCaprio, lol.)

In your opinion, who SHOULD win?

You can't "direct" DiCaprio. Scorsese is nothing more than a witness.

I voted Cuaron.

Cuaron. Gravity is far too monumental a technical achievement to ignore.
