There’s a thread for actors, why not directors? Which un-nominated director will get their first nominations this decade? They can be un-nominated veterans, young promising rising new talent, un-nominated international auteurs or even actors who have started directing.

My predictions:

Ari Aster
Jacques Audiard
Sean Baker
Julia Ducournau
Ava DuVernay
Robert Eggers
Asghar Farhadi
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Mia Hansen-Løve
Rian Johnson
Regina King
Hirokazu Kore-eda
Park Chan-wook
Cooper Raiff
Kelly Reichert
Dee Rees
Joachim Trier
Taika Waititi
Wong Kar-wai
Edgar Wright

Any others?

I don’t see the point in listing every major director without a nomination, though. They’re not going to get fresh faces every time.

In any case, I think Kore-eda, Reichert, Waititi and Wong are the most likely of that list. But it’s also possible that, like, Aaron Sorkin or whoever gets one before any of them.

Cary Joji Fukunaga should happen soon enough, especially now that he’s proved he can handle a big-budget with No Time to Die.

There’s been a “fresh” director nominee every year since 1951.

Just throwing that stat out there.

People said similar things about the Best Actor lineup and look what happened this year

Stats are meant to be broken, obviously, but it’d be virtually impossible for the rest of the 2020’s to include 0 newcomers in categories like Acting or Director

The stat doesn’t GUARANTEE that there will be a fresh face, but it’s incredibly likely that the trend will continue through the 2020’s.

Any single year might break the streak, sure, but we’re talking about the whole decade here. If 2023 happens to break the streak, for instance, it could still pick back up in 2024.

It’s inevitable, so what’s the harm in brainstorming who it might be?
