I haven't given any thought to who else is in the running this year yet! - I haven't really paid attention, and I probably won't be seeing any of the competition! I only saw ABM on DVD later... out of curiosity. It was a good movie, but no where near the directing challenge that FoTR was. There is an unspoken tie between Best Film and Best Director, and there shouldn't be. The best Story of the year, may not have been the best Directing achievement, but those prizes are seldom split. Maybe PJ will change that, I think he deserves a Director win, even if the films can't or don't win. I can't think of a harder film to direct than these.

The only fella I can think of would be Dafoe's Green Goblin, but that would be for supporting actor. Not that playing a madman is all that difficult. They'll probably haul some foreign film in to sweep the Oscars... LOTR is foreign, right? *keeps her fingers crossed*
