Yeah. I think Paul Greengrass has a good chance of being nominated for United 93. The difference between the Oscars and the DGA Awards is that for the Oscars, only director members of the Academy (mostly feature film directors) choose the nominees, while all members of the DGA (feature, TV, news, sports, cartoon) get to nomunate for their award.

My predictions:

Best Picture: Babel.
Best Director: Alejandro Inarritu.
Best Original Screenplay: Either Little Miss Sunshine or The Queen.
Best Adapted Screenplay: Borat.

Best Actor - Forest Whitaker, Last King of Scotland
Best Actress - Helen Mirren, The Queen
Best Supporting Actor - Eddie Murphy, Dreamgirls
Best Supporting Actress - Jennifer Hudson, Dreamgirls


Pretty safe choices. I bet at least four of those will come true easily.

Who will win? I don't know! Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!
Best Picture- Babel (Even though I believe that all the other films nominated are superior)
Best Director- Scorcese (He deserves it!)
Best Actor- Forest Whitaker
Best Actress- Helen Mirren (It's a done deal)
Best Supporting Actor- Jackie Earle Haley (Shocking, It would be nice if Haley or Arkin won)
Best Supporting Actress- Rinko Kikuchi (Put Jennifer Hudson is something besides a musical and maybe they'll give it to her next year... If her performance is up to par)
Animated Film- Happy Feet
Cinematography- Children of Men (This deserves it but I'd settle for Pan's Labyrinth as well)
Adapted Screenplay- The Departed (Yep!)
Original Screenplay- Little Miss Sunshine (Oh Yeah!)
