Spielberg for The Color Purple, then Ron Howard for Apollo 13. Affleck is the third.
Charles Foster Kane

Damn, I hope all these awards going to Argo don't mean it's going to get BP.
Well neither of those movies won shit at the Oscars so... I guess Argo will still go home emptyhanded?

Aren't most of the members of the DGA part of the academy's director branch? Or is it only a certain percent of them?
At least he's in admirable company. Still, must sting.
Neither of those movies won at the Golden Globes (I don't think the PGA existed when the Color Purple came out, but Apollo 13 did win that). Argo may still lose at the Academy Awards, but it's pretty uncommon that a movie wins all the big awards leading to the Academy Awards without taking home Best Picture. It happened to Brokeback Mountain, but that is the only recent example I can think of.
At least Ang Lee was nominated.
Globes have been a very poor indicator of the Oscars for years now. I wouldn't necessarily count them as a "big award."

Skyfall won at the ASC awards. That puts it as frontrunner for cinematography.

Does anyone know if there will be an online stream of the awards? I may want to have a get together with my friends for this, but I don't have cable.
I was talking about Skyfall but I enjoyed Batman a hell of alot more than Argo

I don't think Spielberg gets Director. Lincoln is a story about the lead actor and its screenplay.
I'm thinking Ang Lee wins for Life of Pi. I'm cooler on the film than a lot of people but one has to recognize what a daunting task that film was.
There's also the theory that David O. Russell has more support for Silver Linings Playbook than most people seem to think.
I love that this year is a total horse race. This hasn't happened in years.

That's fantastic. Deakins <3
Pretty crazy that Argo has completley sweeped the awards leading up to the Oscars... really wide-open race. I guess Lincoln peaked too soon (and Argo's snub is the best thing that could've happened to it), but I still hold out hope for a Spielberg hat-trick. Plus, his competition in the direction field is just so weak.

I was joking about Skyfall, not a film I expected to be nominated for BP, although I enjoyed the hell out of it.
^Really hope it wins for cinematography.

After seeing Lincoln I really want Haneke to win.

Life of Pi won the VES award for "Outstanding Visual Effects in a Visual Effects-Driven Feature Motion Picture," so it's likely to take the Oscar now. Given R&H declaring bankruptcy, I'd expect the acceptance speech to cover the dismal state of the VFX industry right now.
The 2001 one took me a second to get.
Why'd Slumdog and Hurt Locker get snubbed?
Argo has won every major best picture award now, so I am not sure how SLP has much support. With wins in the Golden Globes, DGAs, PGAs, and BAFTAs (plus an award for best cast ensemble from the SAG), I don't see how any film is going to stop it at the Academy Awards. It's definitely kicked Lincoln out of the spotlight.
I could see Ang Lee winning Best Director. It would be an upset though. I think Speilberg is still the favourite with Afleck being snubbed.
Both of them are there. First two on the last row.

Argo is an OK movie. Would have been more suspenseful if they did have to cross the border on bicycles. As a result of it's story, a lot of the suspense felt unnecessary.
They didn't?
poster's great though. Really puts into perspective how terrible some of those BP winners have been over the years.
Film felt like a side episode of a weekly procedural.
No way was it going to get anything.

Grantland has a pretty awesome graphic of the most ridiculous Oscar snubs over the last 40 or so years.
The Academy loves them some romance and some feel good, sentimental shit. oh, and period pieces

Easily Shakespeare in Love. SPR snub was too big. I don't like Slumdog, but it's at least better than Shakespeare in love.
Kubrick, Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Fargo, Pulp Fiction, not winning are real travesties there.
The king of snubbed films of course.
The Oscars are pretty good at snubbing. Probably what they do best.
Ah, just read the actual article and apparently they set the cut off at '72 because that's when the Godfather was released or something. Speaking of which, Coppola didn't win best director for the Godfather. Snub.
