September 10th Update.
1. Steve McQueen- 12 Years a Slave
12 Years a Slave is being called the best movie about slavery ever made. McQueen missed out for Shame, but this looks much more Academy friendly.
2. Alfonso Cuaron- Gravity
Gravity is a visual masterpiece and many reviews are comparing it to 2001: A Space Oddessy. He's a lock. It's between McQueen and Cuaron at this point.
3. David O. Russel- American Hustle
This is where things get interesting. Russel has been nominated for his last 2 films. If American Hustle is a hit, it could be 3 for 3.
4. Ron Howard- Rush
Early word on Rush has been great. Howard looks to make a comeback to the Oscar race. It's an incredible true story that should get the voters' attention.
5. Martin Scorsese- The Wolf of Wall Street
Scorsese is one of the best directors of all time. He's already been nominated in this category 7 times. He needs to be considered for every movie he makes. I wouldn't count him out.
