The Directors Guild of America has announced their nominations. And here they are:
David Fincher, THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON
Danny Boyle, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE
Christopher Nolan, THE DARK KNIGHT
Ron Howard, FROST/NIXON
Gus Van Sant, MILK
No real surprises here, but generally speaking you got your best picture contenders here, and though many predicted Batman would make it, it was still far from a lock. Well people, welcome to a world where a man dressed in a rubber suit can win an Oscar.
