The Directors Guild Announce nominees!

And they are:

Paul Thomas Anderson, There Will Be Blood
Joel and Ethan Coen, No Country for Old Men
Tony Gilroy, Michael Clayton
Sean Penn, Into the Wild
Julian Schnabel, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly


This is a very very strong list, however the absence of Joe Wright name for "Atonement" is a slap in the face to film making. Then again none of these films are what you would call dusty and Wright directed an old fashioned movie in an old fashioned way. Perhaps it is just far too British, or perhaps it does not feel important enough to reward.

I guess I should not really bitch about this though, it has been a great year for movies and this is a strong list (from what I have heard). Yay for movies!!
