CoolioD1 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Paul Greengrass, Captain Phillips Alfonso Cuaron, Gravity David O. Russell, American Hustle Steve McQueen, 12 Years A Slave Martin Scorsese, The Wolf of Wall Street 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) What this tells us:- Wolf is a legit Oscar player. I'm glad that 'controversy' hasn't seemed to get in the way of nominations. Whether Scorsese actually gets a nod next week is shaky, though. - Hustle is the only contender to get noms from SAG, PGA, WGA and DGA. However, 12 Years a Slave would've done the same if it was eligible for WGA. Safe to say these are the top two contenders with Gravity locked at #3.- Captain Phillips looks stronger than Her or Nebraska now. - Llewyn was shut out of all the guilds. Not a good sign.

Ezen Baklattan Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I think Jonze could be a potential spoiler, but this does seem to be pretty much what everyone was expecting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) This was so predicable I had the op typed out a minute before it was actually announced Since 1990 the DGA 5 and the Best Director nominees have matched 5/5 only three times. I'm sure at least one of them won't get an oscar nomination. I think either Scorsese or Greengrass. The other three are probably safe (though we were all saying this about Ben Affleck last year. Heh) Edited January 7, 2014 by CoolioD1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 If someone drops out its Greengrass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I think Scorsese's slot is the most vulnerable. I can easily see it going to Payne. Or if the Academy goes crazy like last year it could go to Woody or Coogler even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 I think Wolf really hit at the right time. For the 12 day period that voters have needed to vote for the nominations (which ends tomorrow btw) it feels like the film that everyone's been talking about in that time.

Impact Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 That was a comment in 2003 when Cold Mountain was not nominated in 2003-plus Harvey is known for his ego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Awesome that marty's in. And just a reminder that DGA only matched 2/5 last year (and sure DGA announced after AMPAS ballots were due last year, but this year it's only the day before and most of the AMPAS ballots have been already turned in.) So, it isn't like there's a week or two stretch for the DGA noms to sink in and affect the AMPAS. There's about 24 hours, which isn't a lot of time. While I don't expect a 2/5 match this year, I'm also not expecting a very good overlap either. I think 3/5 is about good. I think Greengrass is definitely the most vulnerable. And Marty and O Russell I can also easily see missing. Probably Coens would pick up a nod at the AMPS, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Or David O'Russell could get dropped in a shocker. If that happens it's Argo all over again.... I'm really disappointed Inside Llewyn Davis got shut out from the guilds, sure it will probably get a picture nod (hopefully, if it doesn't that's one of the biggest picture snubs in a very long time), but it's not going to be competing. Also, either Greengrass or Scorsese are probably not going to get nominated, I am hoping Greengrass drops and Coen Brothers get in, but it'll probably be Payne or if the Academy goes big on Fruitvale like Beasts than Coogler.
