Also in the running:

9) Sandra Bullock/Extremely Loud
10) Judi Dench/J. Edgar
Others with votes:
Judy Greer/Descendants, Evan Rachel
Wood/Ides of March, Jessica Chastain/Take Shelter and Jodi Foster/Carnage
HOT: Chastain and McCarthy
NOT: Woodley and Redgrave
THOUGHT:
Realistically, I suspect that the 1 through 4 spots are in and it’s a slugfest
between McCarthy and McTeer for the fifth spot.
Personally I’m on the McTeer train and have been since I saw Nobbs in
T-ride. Read my Playlist review from
there and you’ll see that I was suggesting the possibility early on:
DIRECTORS GUILD
Nominees of the DGA announced yesterday:
Woody Allen/Midnight in Paris
Martin Scorsese/Hugo
Alexander Payne/The Descendants
Michael Hazanavicius/The Artist
David Fincher/Girl with the Dragon
Tattoo
Surprises were that Fincher is in and
Spielberg, Taylor and Malick are out.
This probably nukes Tree of Life as a Best Pic nominee. It also hurts War Horse (I said yesterday in
this space that I thought it was losing steam) and The Help, but probably doesn’t
kill them and it gives a boost to the chances for Girl…Tattoo.
Kris Tapley points out that Payne’s
Descendants is the only film that punched its ticket with all the major
guilds. The Artist was not WGA eligible,
so couldn’t be named by every major guild.
However, it remains the favorite and will likely be the only film with
double digit nominations in two weeks.
