The Ones That They Want

The Directors Guild of America announced today its
nominees for its DGA Award honoring the best director of 2009.

The five chosen ones are The Hurt Locker’s Kathryn Bigelow, Avatar’s James Cameron, Up in the Air’s Jason Reitman, Inglourious Basterds’ Quentin Tarantino, and, in a Golden Globe reversal, Precious’ Lee Daniels.

The DGA announcement follows that of the Producers Guild of America, which earlier this week
recognized An Education, Avatar, District 9, The Hurt Locker, Inglourious Basterds, Invictus, Precious, Star Trek, Up, and
Up in the Air with nominations in its Best Picture race.

Mmm…the PGA list looks a lot like mine, which makes me smile.
