| "Thank you God for snubbing Ben Affleck." |
2012 was a weird year in this category. I think we all know that. I mean, the Oscar for Director was so up in the air because the year long lock was snubbed the nomination. Ben Affleck won EVERY OTHER TELEVISED AWARD in this category, including the BAFTA, and then went on to have his film win the SAG. His film even won the Oscar for Best Picture. But, alas, he was snubbed the nomination in favor of Michael Haneke and Behn Zeitlin. Now, I'm not saying that is a bad thing (since Zeitlin was leagues better than Affleck...and Lee for that matter) but it is odd and makes you wonder about what could happen this year. Could Zeitlin's shock nomination (I knew it was going to happen but foolishly dropped him from my predictions) give confidence to other debut directors, like Coogler? Could Haneke's surprise nomination mean that this years big Cannes story could result in a nomination for Kechiche?
Here's what I'm thinking now:
