\"\"<\/a>The Directors Guild of America announced their nominees for their annual awards today and the five names on the list should come as no surprise given that their films have all received strong critical notices over the last few months. While these are all strong and not unexpected choices, there are a couple of omissions from the guild’s nominees that do stand out – Quentin Tarantino (Django Unchained<\/strong>), David O. Russell (Silver Linings Playbook<\/strong>) and Paul Thomas Anderson (The Master<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

What’s notable about these nomination snubs is how it may affect the outcome of the Academy Awards. The winner of the DGA award has a high statistical probability of going on to win the Best Director Oscar. And the film that was directed by the winner of the Best Director Oscar usually cops the Best Picture honor that same night. With the announcement of the Academy Award nominations just two days away, it is looking like a long shot for Tarantino, Anderson or Russell to be hearing their name being called out.<\/p>\n
