| 1.
Joel & Ethan Coen (Inside Llewyn Davis) | 2.
Ridley Scott (The Counselor) | 3.
Paul Greengrass (Captain Phillips) | 4.
Alexander Payne (Nebraska) | 5.
Alfonso Cuaron (Gravity) |
| I still have them at number one, maybe it's foolish considering we still don't know a ton about the film, but it's still a safe bet. | This is nearly a down-the-line Oscar film on paper. All-star cast, Cormac McCarthy script, and directed by 3-time nominee Scott. Sounds like a winner. | Love Greengrass. The trailer only cements his placement here. Looks like a hit. | AMPAS loves them some Payne. He already has two Oscars, but zero in this category. | I must say, I'm extremely intrigued and excited about this film, I'm really hoping it's something different and special. Some may think this a borderline wildcard pick, but I like it. |
