BEST DIRECTOR
Director - Film	Comment
Martin Scorsese - The Departed (GG)	What more is there to say?
Clint Eastwood - Letters From Iwo Jima (GG)	Great work... but not his year to win
Bill Condon - Dreamgirls	The Globes created one of the year's top non-stories
Stephen Frears - The Queen (GG)	Solid
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu - Babel (GG)	The showy choice
Todd Field - Little Children	Still a possibility
Valerie Faris & Jonathan Dayton - Little Miss Sunshine	The BP nom most likely locked out
Alfonso Cuaron - Children of Men	Could be an alternative showy choice
Gabriele Muccino - The Pursuit of Happyness
Clint Eastwood - Flags Of Our Fathers(GG)
