Dominik and Haynes never really emerged as contenders in the Best Director race, which is why they aren't on the list.

Where's Andrew Dominik, people? Where's Todd Haynes?

I give it to David Fincher whose type-A craftsmanship offered us the most unheralded technological virtuoso of the year.

Flipp, I love you for choosing Polley over Wright even though I know how much you love Atonement. (for the record, I didn't like Atonement but I didn't hate it either) And I'm so happy she has the most votes thus far!

Definitely Polley for me since she directed the best film of the year.
