The Directors Guild of America Nominations have been useful in predicting the Best Director category in the Oscar. For the record, since the presentation of DGA Awards back in 1948, only six times the DGA selected director did not succeed in continuing the glory in the Academy Awards. This year, I find the only surprise to be David Fincher for his work in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Nominees:
Woody Allen for "Midnight in Paris"
David Fincher for "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"
Michel Hazanavicius for "The Artist"
Alexander Payne for "The Descendants"
Martin Scorsese for "Hugo"
When the winner is announced on Jan 28, 2012, we can have a clearer picture of the Oscar-winner for Best Director, or at least that is what the statistics tell us. Personally, I don't think this year will be the seventh mismatch.
