I find it weird how that Envelope article about young directors completely omits Nolan.

There is nothing weird about Envelope not thinking of him as a serious best director contender. Last year Avatar made it in but Inception is no Avatar.
He could still make it in this year but Nolan is hardly a shoe-in.

But the article includes David O. Russell and Darren Aronofsky.
I’d say Nolan’s chances are just as good as those two guys.

Yeah, I’d have to agree with that point. Maybe they thought that somehow Nolan was less of a “new” breed kind of a filmmaker. I’m honestly at a loss here.
And speaking of David O. Russell,Anne Thompson made it clear that he has no chance of being nominated. I just can’t help but wonder, what makes him so different from, say his star, and Oscar frontrunner Bale? What has he done that is sooo much worse?
