Director - Film	Comment
Martin Scorsese - The Aviator	Yeah...
Mike Nichols - Closer	Uh-huh...
Alexander Payne - Sideways	Dues paid... welcome...
Alejandro Amenabar - The Sea Inside	Had to pick... could be... elegant work
Bill Condon - Kinsey	Another battle slot... big leap forward... already in the club...
Potential Golden Globe Alternates
James L. Brooks - Spanglish	He's still Jim Brooks, damn it!
Marc Forster - Finding Neverland	Harvey lurks...
Michel Gondry - Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind	A brilliant vision, but perhaps a few too many tricks for Academy voters
Mike Leigh - Vera Drake	Really in a directing category of his own... but is that a good thing for awards?
Joel Schumacher - Phantom Of The Opera	If the movie makes it, he should... but people are such freaking snobs!
Oliver Stone - Alexander	He's still Oliver Stone, damn it!
And...
Brad Bird - The Incredibles
Michael Mann - Collateral
Clint Eastwood - Million Dollar Baby
