This was a really good year for directing nominees, they were all quite interestingly directed and there were no filler nominees at all.

For me:
1 David O. Russell "American Hustle"
2 Alexander Payne "Nebraska"
3 Alfonso Cuarón "Gravity"
4 Steve McQueen "12 Years a Slave"
5 Martin Scorsese "The Wolf of Wall Street"

O. Russell only slightly winning though but I liked how stylish and vibrant it all was but Payne is not far behind!

and as always, these would be my winners: (AH and Gravity being the big winners due to the technical categories mainly but as I've said before, Her/Nebraska/Philomena are easily my fave three!)
