The Director's Guild nominees:
Jane Campion, The Power of the Dog
Kenneth Branagh, Belfast
Steven Spielberg, West Side Story
Denis Villeneuve, Dune
Paul Thomas Anderson, Licorice Pizza
Champion and Anderson scored both a DGA and BAFTA best director nomination.
Ryusuke Hamaguchi won the National Society of Film Critics best director trophy and scored a BAFTA directing nomination.
Audrey Diwan for Happening, Julia Ducournau for Titane, and Aleem Khan for After Love landed BAFTA directing nominations over Branagh, Spielberg, and Villeneuve.
Guillermo del Toro and Maggie Gyllenhaal received your Critics Choice/Globe nomination.
Sian Heder, Adam McKay, Reinaldo Marcus Green, and Lin-Manuel Miranda haven't received any major best director mentions, but their films scored both AFI and PGA nominations.
The DGA and Oscar best director nominees haven't matched since 2009. For the past three seasons, we have seen at least one non-English speaking film get a Director nomination. Roma and Cold War in 2018. Parasite in 2019. Another Round in 2020.
Personally, I am going with Anderson, Campion, Branagh, Hamaguchi, and Villeneuve.

PTA, Branagh, Campion, Hamaguchi, Villeneuve What happened to WSS here? No ACE. No Best Film, Director, Screenplay, or Editing nominations at the BAFTA. |

It wasn't as big of a hit with audiences as expected, and that played a role. The audience at these awards that would like it more (the more traditionalist voters) probably preferers the original version |

I still don't quite buy the Hamaguchi narrative. Even though West Side Story is massively underperforming, I do find Spielberg an easier pill to swallow for Best Director as opposed to a three-hour slow burn by a filmmaker who isn't quite as well-known as Vinterberg, Bong, or even Pawlikowski. But it's also the category where they do go for bold and daring choices, so I do see a path... I'm just still not predicting it.

relatively obscure Japanese director nominated for the 3-hour conversation piece... I'm just not buying it. Makes a lot more sense to nominate it for screenplay if they really want to nominate it outside of IFF but I can't see it getting screenplay and directing nods both.

I can't see The Directors Branch going 5/5 with DGA. Most vulnerable are Branagh, who missed BAFTA, which should have been easy for him and Spielberg - with WSS under performing in the industry.
I can see Hamaguchi getting in. The Directors Branch is notorious for unconventional choices.

Very tentatively still going with the long running 5 of Campion, PTA, Branagh, Spielberg and Villeneuve. Hamaguchi creeping at #6.
