True Grit co-directors Joel and Ethan Coen didn’t make the list of five Best Director nominees from the Directors Guild of America, which broke a few minutes ago. David Fincher, Tom Hooper, Darren Aronofsky, Christopher Nolan and David O. Russell are the DGA nominees, and if I have to tell you which films they directed then I don’t know what.
Others who didn’t make the cut include 127 Hours maestro Danny Boyle (the faintings did him in), The Kids Are All Right‘s Lisa Cholodenko (half expected) and Winter’s Bone director Debra Granik…tough, but somebody had to get left off.
