DGA
1. Guillermo Del Toro - Tied with Gerwig for the most critics circle best director trophies, won the Critics Choice and Globes, and nominated at the BAFTAs
2. Christopher Nolan - Won the third most critics circle best director trophies, and nominated at the BAFTAs.
3. Martin McDonaugh - Not nominated at the Oscars, BUT the DGA winner goes on to win Best Picture 77% of the time. It also has a BAFTA nomination
4. Greta Gerwig - Tied with Del Toro for the most critics circle best director trophies. No BAFTA nomination.
5. Jordan Peele - No BAFTA nomination.
My view here: Del Toro is the HEAVY FAVORITE to win. But Nolan and McDonaugh are the wildcards.
WGA ADAPTED
1. Call Me By Your Name - Won the Critics Choice Best Adapted Screenplay award. Won the most critics circle screenplay awards for this category. Film is nominated for Best Picture.
2. The Disaster Artist - Won the second most critics circle awards for this category.
3. Molly's Game - Nominated at the BAFTAs and WGAs.
4. Mudbound - Nominated at the WGA and won two critics circle awards.
5. Logan - Same as Mudbound, only it's a superhero film.
WGA ORIGINAL
1. Get Out - Won the most critics circle screenplay awards and the Critics Choice Best Original Screenplay.
2. Lady Bird - Won the second most critics circle awards.
3. Shape Of Water - Best Picture front-runner.
4. The Big Sick - Nominated at the Oscars.
5. I, Tonya - No Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay.
My view: Get Out and CMBYN will win here. However, I think Lady Bird and TSOW are really strong alternatives here.
