No snub from the BFCA, Golden Globes, SAGS, PGA, or DGA. No snubs at all! If anyone gets looked over at the last minute, it will unfortunately be either Gus Van Sant or Christopher Nolan. Although, I wouldn't shake my head if Daldry, Allen, Aronofsky or Mendes nabbed a nomination. They all deserve a spot as well. @Tracy Jordan: As much as I love Stephen Daldry, I think it would be borderline naive to suggest that Ron Howard would be omitted from the Best Director line-up this year, especially after Frost/Nixon and Ron Howard were lucky enough to be nominated for just about everything .
