- David Fincher for The Social Network: after The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Fincher promises us something big in an adaptation of a book about the creation of the Facebook. He directed Se7en, Fight Club, Zodiac and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, so I've no doubt that The Social Network will be great, but I need to have a bigger notion of the film to say if Fincher will get his second nod. But, by now, the expectations are big and Fincher seems a promising contender in Best Director category (let's see if the Academy will be one of Fincher's friends in Facebook).
- Alejandro González Iñárritu for Biutiful: the way he paints his movies is unique and in Biutiful he makes everything compelling. His directing style has already been recognized by the Academy when he directed Babel, but, this year, Iñárritu brings a sad story turning in a cinematical masterpiece.
A strong contender in Best Director category with a touching Spanish language movie.
- Debra Granik for Winter's Bone: this year we have a woman in the race like last year. Granik directs an acclaimed indie picture that's a shinning star in film festivals and a good movie can't be a good movie without a good director, so I think the Academy should nominate Debra Granik for such a fantastic work that I've only read in reviews (unfortunatly!). Will a female director win again? I don't know, but if she'll be nominated, that can happen!
- Christopher Nolan for Inception: Nolan's overdue for an Oscar nomination. After Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins, The Prestige and The Dark Knight, it's time to give him a nod of Best Director. Inception have been received great reviews, specially Nolan's direction style in this movie, and I hope he'll get it (I think his movies are simply amazing!).
- Peter Weir for The Way Back: Peter Weir is a brilliant director in my opinion (The Truman Show, Master and Commander, ...). The Academy loves World War II movies and Peter Weir is overdue for a win and if The Way Back will be brilliant, he gets an Academy Award.
in consideration: Sofia Coppola (Somewhere); Terrence Malick (The Tree of Life); David O. Russell (The Fighter);
