Todd McCarthy - Spotlight |
| |
I think Spotlight is ahead, and they'll have to shore it up with a Director nod. |

Alejandro Gonzalez-Inarritu - The Revenant |
| |
With 12 total nods for his movie, last year's win, and the Globes win, it could actually happen that he wins back-to-back Directing awards, a first in Oscars history. |

Adam McKay - The Big Short |
| |
Oscar pundits may have gotten too heated with the McKay predictions, as his career doesn't exactly scream Oscar. |

George Miller - Mad Max |
| |
Miller could still get a consolation prize lifetime achievement award |

Lenny Abrahamson - Room |
| |
As I expected in my last directors power ranking, Ridley Scott was the one who missed from DGA. Room, meanwhile, surged despite getting exactly zero guild nods. Abrahamson doesn't have a prayer, however. |
