My analysis on DGA can be found on my blog: http://www.theawardsconnection.com/home/2016/2/2/andrews-2015-dga-award-predix

My hunch is Miller winds up prevailing but it won’t be terribly surprising if anyone (besides Scott) triumphs. If McKay or McCarthy wins, the Best Picture Oscar race is over.

Hoping it’s Miller. It’s the only thing I’m invested this year with an actual shot at winning. All five nominees have a shot. I personally despise all the other films nominated – The Martian, Spotlight, Big Short, Revenant… ugh. If only we had something like Carol, Hateful Eight, Bridge of Spies etc going against Mad Max I’d be more excited. Miller being the only deserving one makes me nervous because these guilds and the Academy always f*ck up.

My Brazilian boy Fernando Coimbra would make me super happy to win the newcomer award, but watch Nemes or Garland take it (I was leaning towards Nemes, but coming close to switching). BTW if Garland wins early in the night, it’s good news for Miller.

Hoping Miller and Nemes win, but I feel it’s going to be McKay and Garland.

Anyway, 15 hours!!! Time to think about it.

It’s telling how, if Miller (deservedly) wins Mad Max is STILL not a Best Picture threat. And the reasons for that, imo, makes me want to throw eggs.

Yeah, it’s a shame, but that’s how it goes with the Oscars. I’ll take what I can get with them, and it’s really cool that Miller is even a threat for Director.

It’s time for a revolution, generally the last  resort in attempting to ‘overthrow’ the current power base. I have lost patience.

Lol.
