There are no options for “Barbie” in this category but Cillian Murphy is terrific in the lead role of Robert J. Curiously, Nolan is also after his second Best Director bid, despite helming the likes of “The Dark Knight,” “Inception,” and “Interstellar.” Gerwig is after her second Best Director bid. Celine Song (“Past Lives”), Jonathan Glazer (“The Zone of Interest”), and Denis Villeneuve (“Dune: Part Two”) are all ahead of her. Nolan is in second place in our odds chart (behind Scorsese again) while Gerwig - CRIMINALLY! - is outside of our predicted five nominees. Nolan and Gerwig competed against one another in 2018 when they were both nominated for Best Director (for “Dunkirk” and “Lady Bird”). “Barbie” is eighth in our odds chart so doesn’t seem as certain as “Oppenheimer” but voters are opting for more unique work (“The Shape of Water,” “Everything Everywhere All at Once”) so “Barbie” could benefit from that. “Marriage Story” was also nominated for Best Picture). Greta Gerwig‘s past two movies, “Lady Bird” and “Little Women,” were both nominated for Best Picture, so she’s looking to go three for three (it also helps that Noah Baumbach, who co-writes and produces, is involved here. “Inception” and “Dunkirk” were both nominated here while he surely came close with “The Dark Knight” and “Interstellar,” too. It sits in second place in our odds chart behind only Martin Scorsese‘s upcoming “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Nolan has a good track record with his movies in this category. “Oppenheimer” seems almost locked in for a Best Picture bid. *Both films will not compete in the following categories: Best Original Screenplay, Visual Effects, and all other “Best Picture” or “Best Short” categories.
