DGA NOMINATIONS
January 23rd, 2002
And they are...
Ron Howard (A BEAUTIFUL MIND).
Ridley Scott (BLACK HAWK DOWN)
Baz Luhrmann (MOULIN ROUGE)
Peter Jackson (LORD OF THE RINGS)
Chris Nolan (MEMENTO).
To put it simply: Robert Altman and David Lynch...they was robbed! For all the DGA got right -- like awarding Chris Nolan for his directing (it wasnt just about his script -- they get terribly wrong. Crazy-man Luhrmann over serene-in-comparison Altman or hypnotic, dreamscape-creating Lynch? If youre talking pure skill, I think Lynch should waltz away with his award. And I would think the DGA could see through the frenetic sloppiness of a movie directed in a nightmare style of Scorsese on crack and shrooms remaking THE RED SHOES.
My guess on who wins this? Probably Howard. Maybe Scott.
The real question is: has the buzz over MULHOLLAND DR. died down so low that an Oscar nomination is out of the question?
