After I made my random and "Sok Tau" Prediction about the best picture for next year Oscar Contender I'm going to make best Director release. because best picture won't happen with the director right? Here are my predictions for the Best Director prize at next year's Oscars, which could see previous nominees Paul Thomas Anderson, David Fincher, Mike Leigh, Rob Marshall, Bennett Miller, Alejandro González Iñárritu and Christopher Nolan factor into a race full of potential newbies. JC Chandor, Tim Burton, Richard Linklater (who looks like safest call at this point), James Marsh, Angelina Jolie, Wes Anderson have got Oscar love in other categories, but never here. All kind of shocking in a few cases, for sure...
But that all aside, who's in the lead? It's hard to tell given we haven't seen so many films, though even at this point it's hard to imagine Linklater and Iñárritu not factoring into this race, and all eyes are definitely on Jolie to become the first female nominee since Kathryn Bigelow won five years ago.
The Safe Bet
1. Richard Linklater, "Boyhood"
2. Alejandro González Iñárritu, "Birdman"
Hasn't released yet but they look strong
3. David Fincher, "Gone Girl"
4. Angelina Jolie, "Unbroken"
5. David Ayer, "Fury"
6. Christopher Nolan, "Interstellar"
7. Paul Thomas Anderson, "Inherent Vice"
Next on my list
8. Wes Anderson, "The Grand Budapest Hotel"
9. Mike Leigh, "Mr. Turner"
10. Bennett Miller, "Foxcatcher"
11. James Marsh, "Theory of Everything"
12. Morten Tyldum, "The Imitation Game"
Sounds good
13. Ana DuVernay, "Selma"
14. JC Chandor, "A Most Violent Year"
15. Tim Burton, "Big Eyes"
16. Clint Eastwood, "American Sniper"
17. Rob Marshall, "Into The Woods"
Dark Horses
18. Damien Chazelle, "Whiplash"
19. Jean-Marc Vallée, "Wild"
20. Jon Stewart, "Rosewater"
