4. Quentin Tarantino

5. Baz Luhrmann

I began last year's predictions with him in the top spot, and I'm doing it again this year. I have high hopes for his film, and AMPAS loves him. I think he's the obvious choice for front runner at this point in the year, but I'm going against the grain. Can this really happen. I sure as hell want it to. Tarantino is a genius filmmaker, there's no denying. We'll see if AMPAS loves this like they love Inglorious Basterds. Another obvious choice at this point, but I'm okay with that.
