DGA Nominations

The Directors Guild of America has announced it's nominations for Best Director and they are:

David Fincher - Benjamin Button
Danny Boyle - Slumdog Millionaire
Ron Howard - Frost/Nixon
Christopher Nolan - The Dark Knight
Gus Van Sant - Milk

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is what the Oscar race is looking to be. There may be a surprise, but otherwise this is where the voting is heading. Since being established in 1948 the Academy has only disagreed six time with the DGA, so whoever wins this award is likely our next Best Picture winner. Well, I guess the only thing that's left is to get the Oscar noms in two weeks
