Re: Categories One-by-One: Director

I don't recall the last time my two favourite films of the year scored nominations here and while Ang Lee's work is marginally my favourite, had I a vote I'd probably cast it Haneke's way and contribute towards what would be truly an historic victory. It's well within the real of possibility although I think he's probably running at best fourth behind the three 100 million plus contenders. A tight, tight race... my gut says Spielberg might just edge it for a movie that does not seem to be one that would, in a regular year, win director without best picture. But anything can happen here.
I hope this year they get best actor - pretty much sealed-up - out of the way before the other biggies. The one-two punch of actress and director should make for a few minutes of thrilling TV.
