    I’m with Tom O’Neill when it comes to JJ Abrams. That’s my NGNG for sure.

    Well, before this week I would have said Blomkamp was my NGNG pick, but I’d have to go with Abrams now.

    Don’t see choice #5 for either Anne Thompson or Edward Douglas. Guess it’s “Coming Soon” :)

    I still don’t understand how Blomkamp all of a sudden gets the fifth spot. Up until yesterday I thought he was a NGNG pick. He certainly looks more like a typical DGA nominee than Daniels or Scherfig so I shouldn’t be too surprised.

    My no guts no glory is for Lee Daniels….which i don’t think qualifies as ngng

    i think he’s stronger a candidate than people think….so let’s see

    ngng (this is already leaving a bad taste in my mouth)

    John Lee Hancock – the blind side
    Neil Marshall – Nine
    Jane Campion – Bright Star

    Thomas says:

    Michael Haneke is in

    “i think he’s stronger a candidate than people think….so let’s see” I agree. For me it was hard to choose for that fifth slot between Eastwood and Daniels and I still feel like Daniels will be named.

    Eastwood better not get a nomination. That film might be his weakest in the past 10 years.

    Fifth spot goes to Michael Haneke for “The White Ribbon”

    I’m thinking Lone Scherfig as well.

    Blake says:
    Wednesday, January 6, 2010 at 1:16pm

    I wouldn’t count Lone Scherfig as NG, NG. Outside of the safe 4 (Bigelow, Cameron, Tarantino, Reitman), she’s one of the four most likely to grab that fifth slot, along with Daniels, Eastwood, and Bloomkamp. I’m predicting her to make the cut.

    NG, NG: Joel and Ethan Coen

    This is an easy one: Pete Docter for ‘Up’

    Tarantino might not shut out since he’s not a DGA member. Hard to think they would shun him considering he doesn’t have to be a member, but he doesn’t have the best relationship with them, that’s for sure.

    They nominated Tarantino for Pulp Fiction, so I think he should be fine here.

    I have to agree with the JJ Abrams as the NGNG pick.

    I’m predicting:
    Bigelow
    Blomkamp
    Cameron
    Reitman
    Tarantino

    Eastwood
    Reitman
    Tarantino

    Bigelow maybe Haneke or Cameron but I think Academy will honor Bigelow. She is superb and fresh name.

    Haneke gets in.
    Reitman doesn’t.
    Bloomkamp does.

    #39 I think you might be on to something with Reitman. It doesn’t seem all that unlikely to me that he could be snubbed. This is gonna be interesting.

    Cameron
    Bigelow
    Tarantino

    Reitman/Blomkamp/Daniels/Eastwood

    My NGNG pick is Spike Jonze for Where The Wild Things Are. I will do a Keebler Elf happy dance if he gets a nod.

    No Guts No Glory

    Spike Jonze for Where The Wild Things Are or Mark Webb for (500) Days of Summer (My Favorite Movie of 2009).

    **In Terms of Non-No Guts No Glory, I am expecting Blomkamp to get Nominated and NO Cameron or Eastwood.
