Best Director (Predicted 5)
James Cameron - Avatar
He deserves credit for creating one of the biggest hits and history, and an Oscar nomination will be a reward, not to mention the Golden Globe win helped a lot.
Neil Blomkamp - District 9
Generally there’s a surprise nominee somewhere in this category, and since District 9 has a lot of passion, I can see him sneaking in.
Kathryn Bigelow - The Hurt Locker
She’s a definite lock and on her way to becoming to becoming the first female director to win.
Quentin Tarantino - Inglourious Basterds
A resurgence in popularity has led Tarantino to another road to be nominated, with a lot of passionate support.
Jason Reitman - Up in the Air
Unlike Juno, he’s been showing up in enough precursors to indicate that he won’t be a surprise nominee this time.
Alt.
Lee Daniels - Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire
His DGA nominations is certainly a strong indicator, but Precious has fallen out a bit lately. It has shown up in enough categories to warrant a Best Picture prize, but Daniels’s work as director has generally been shut out. It's very likely that Daniels could brush by Blomkamp, or even Reitman, but his probable recognition in the Best Picture category might be his only prize.
