What to say about the DGA nods?
That is the most unexpected line-up, given the tendencies of this guild. Truly, I think this will be one of those cases where the Best Picture/DGA line-up is off by at least one, and possibly two.
The biggest sigh of relief was surely from Paramount Vantage, who saw "Into the Wild" settle into the locked-in position it has been staring at for weeks. It seems with every hit the film takes, it comes back strong. No Globes love, most BFCA nominations. No BFCA wins, DGA nod. No luck with ASC, four SAG nods. I think it's good to go.
For me, the biggest surprise has to be Tony Gilroy, whose film I remain unconvinced of for a Best Picture nomiantion, but this mention is certainly interesting...and needed.
Anyway, there's more to talk about, but this internet cafe is closing up shop. I'll reassess tomorrow, after the east coast settles in a little more.
