BEST DIRECTOR
Rk	LW	Director - Film	Comment
1	1	Steven Spielberg - Munich (GG)	Inside word is that he thinks it's his best... and he's not the only one in that camp
2	2	Ang Lee - Brokeback Mountain (GG)	A serious director and a film being positioned as revolutionary
3	3	James Mangold - Walk The Line (GG)	Excellence
4	4	Bennett Miller - Capote	The newcomer comes hard
5	5	Fernando Meirelles - The Constant Gardener	the most recent Next Great Director
6	6	Terence Malick - The New World	Could push out Miller
8	8	Stephen Frears - Mrs. Henderson Presents (GG)	If the movie gets more muscular... hard work to come for The Weinstein Co
7	7	Rob Marshall - Memoirs of a Geisha (GG)	Almost time to drop him off the list... more Academy input will come... but will fellow directors vote for a fashion show?
