Christopher Nolan and Paul Thomas Anderson would be frontrunners for the win in my world. Honorable mentions for me would be: John Hillcoat ("Lawless"), Rian Johnson ("Looper") and David Chase ("Not Fade Away").

It isn't going to happen, guys. LET IT GO!

I never thought I'd see Nolan phone a movie in, but here we are.

PTA should get a nod just for ballsiness alone.

Although as much as I liked TDKR, he was severely snubbed for Best Picture. And let's just call them what they are- David O. Russell and especially Tom Hooper = HACKS.

Though I get you're aiming for people who are probably not going to get a nomination and he might.

That being said, Nolan has done much better work in the past, so I don't mind him getting passed on again. And unlike The Dark Knight Rises, The Master really needs those awards, cause it didn't exactly light the world on fire at the box-office.

He has directed a truly great movie since The Prestige. That pompous photo with the staged light behind him shows what studio tool WB has created.

Her intense romantic drama, 'Take This Waltz' was brilliant. I liked how honest and daring Polley was with a risky subject such as infidelity. I was so enamored by this film I convinced the owner of my local art house cinema to play it. Another film I really liked this year was 'Looper' written and directed by Rian Johnson. The story took time travel to another level. Although it deals with Sci-Fi, this film really focuses on the main character facing himself (his demons) and the bad decisions he makes in his life.
