Film School Rejects: DGA Nominates 5 Worthy Filmmakers

Josh · 1 year ago

Honorable mentions I forgot to include: Cronenberg, Eastern Promises; Herzog, Rescue Dawn; Brewer, Black Snake Moan.

Does anyone else agree or disagree with the DGA's selections?

I'm really happy about Anderson getting nominated, as There Will Be Blood is my favorite 2007 picture, but I agree that there's no chance it will win Best Director or Best Picture...it's just too....unsettling. I would love for it to sweep, but I think that it's a lock for Best Actor and that's about it. I think No Country for Old Men is slightly more appealing for the Academy...Sure, No Country for Old Men is pretty dark, but it still has like...an appealing aspect to it. I don't know what I'm trying to say. I guess that basically No Country for Old Men is much more accessible than TWBB, and the Academy always picks the audience approved choice, generally. I'm shocked that Oscar-bait Atonement isn't just sweeping every award. Never have I been as bored as I was during that film. Blech.
