Guillermo del Toro - Shape of Water |
| |
There is no one that seems more "overdue" right now than him. It would complete the "Three Amigos" having a Directing Oscar. |
| 2 |

Luca Guadagnino - Call Me By Your Name |
| |
If this is the presumptive co front-runner, you better bet he is getting in. |

Greta Gerwig - Lady Bird |
| |
Lady Bird's Gerwig could become just the fifth woman ever nominated for this prize, for her solo debut no less. |

Martin McDonagh - Three Billboards |
| |
He has not done well to open the season, but it is early. |
| 5 |

Sean Baker - The Florida Project |
| |
People really look up to his indie and realistic style. He is in. |

Steven Spielberg - The Post |
| |
Spielberg hasn't gotten in here since Lincoln, but this may be his best chance in a while to get back into the list. |

Dee Rees - Mudbound |
| |
I still have my doubts given the Netflix bias, but there you have it. |
| 8 |

Christopher Nolan - Dunkirk |
| |
Nolan needs to get in to give his movie a chance. It's curtains otherwise. |

Joe Wright - Darkest Hour |
| |
The heavy directorial style of the film means you cannot count him out. |
| 10 |

Jordan Peele - Get Out |
| |
I doubt it, but the movie is still getting a lot of votes. |
