Jake Gittes Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 GDT, Nolan and Guadagnino are the big three (and likely to win in that exact order I think). Because I don't care about rationally predicting the other two spots with a bunch of movies still unseen but I want the line-up to remain exciting, let's say PTA and Jordan Peele for #4 and #5. Anyone but Wright and Frears really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancyarcher Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I would really love if del toro somehow became the frontrunner, even with Nolan potentially being nominated and having a huge chance too. That would be an excellent surprise anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Honestly Del Toro has been through so many flops and nonstarter projects that I can't help but root for him to take it even before seeing the movie. Let Guillermo have his day in the sun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valonqar Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I hope GdT takes it. He has a great narrative ( one of Three Amigos, 2 of which won, so it's a Hollywood fairytale), is super likable and the movie's praised for directorial virtuosity (among many othert things save the script). I have a bad feeling that Fishsex won't take Picture (it's a fantasy that doesn't get script praise and all BP have won or at least had script noms lately) but it shouldn't affect Best Director (splits are quite common lately). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aabattery Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 This is absolutely, 100% recency bias but I'm feeling Villeneuve right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Del Torro And Nolan are both highly likely Im skeptical about Spielberg getting in unless the Post is simply brilliant. Guadigino is quite possible, but there's been a lot of surgers lately with more heft. I think Dees Reese and Greta Gerwig both have decent chances Jordan Peele could get in, depending if Get Out can get a surge of critics awards ala Fury Road. Plus it'll need a few tech noms in order to get a BP nom. Villeneuve is another possibility given how much love 2049 is getting. Big tech movies like that get a lot of director love. I'm not sold on Darkest Hour yet. It'll get a heavy push, but I could see it flopping in the non-acting cats based on reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 del Toro Guadagnino McDonagh Nolan Spielberg Suppose I'd put Wright in the sixth spot. If Peele gets in, it'll be for Screenplay. Rees has the Netflix factor to battle and the smaller scale of Lady Bird goes against Greta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Nolan Del Toro McDonagh Wright Rees or Guadagnino I think the Post sucks at this point. PTA too weird, Lady Bird and Florida Project too small, Villeneuve boxed out by Nolan/Del Toro, and Craig Gillespie for I, Tonya seems like a classic case of a director having no chance even for their well liked nominated picture. Peele is legit too, I'd put him next up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Yeah, McDonaugh is most likely safely in at this point with THREE BILLBOARDS rocking the house pretty much everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valonqar Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) Lady Bird has posted a stellar PTA from limited release. If boxoffice continues to be great and it picks up critics awards, perhaps Gerwig gets in? Could we have: GdT Nolan Peele Gerwig McDonaugh Edited November 4, 2017 by Valonqar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Is Lady Bird supposed to be any kind of a directorial showcase? It feels like a writing/acting-driven movie. I think Guadagnino is in, or at least he should be (if he missed it would be a Haynes for Carol-level snub, if not worse), and I can see the directors' branch go for Peele, PTA, Baker or even Bigelow before they go for Gerwig.
