Oscar Winner Predictions: Best Director

The nominees:
Danny Boyle, Slumdog Millionaire
Stephen Daldry, The Reader
David Fincher, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Ron Howard, Frost/Nixon
Gus Van Sant, Milk

My ballot: 1/5 (TBA soon)
Who should win: Boyle
Who will win: It’s not really a competition anymore. Barring some crazy upset which signals a greater preference for another movie, favoring maybe Fincher or Daldry, this trophy belongs to Boyle.
