Finding a frontrunner in Director is hard, it seems we will know only when we actually see some of these films. Can’t get my hopes up to a Denis Villeneuve win. Excited for Cannes announcement this week, maybe there is something interesting to consider for that international slot. I couldn’t disagree more with the claim that female directors will now just get nominated every year. Also yeah Sing Sing is definitely Adapted, no way the branch allows it in Original after what happened to Barbie. I am looking out for The Nickel Boys to be the potential winner (MGM is on a streak with this category!). The thing that’s keeping me from predicting The Apprentice to win in Original is the fact that Ali Abbasi isn’t writing it. Can’t bet against writer-directors after this past season.
It's hard for me to think that Denis won't win this. McQueen will be nominated at least If the End is great, could see Oppenheimer getting it I think Ali Abbasi will get in as long as certain society level events work in this movies favor. FFC is Megalopolis is good ( I doubt it), will 100% get in. Phillips and Diwan are the other two I could see. No confidence in Eggers

The release date concerns me on Nosferatu. Normally movies released that late disappoint, at least awards wise.
Hey, I'm enjoying your content, but be careful with moving your mics around , the audio levels are really up and down.

When was the last time they legit gave director to a genre film? It's not even a guarantee that Denis will get nominated
