We’re less than a month away from the March 15 nominations announcement, so let’s take a look at the races for the director and screenplay categories. Via GlennWhipp

On the cusp:

If my prediction holds, three historic firsts would come to pass — nominating a pair of directors of Asian descent , nominating two women and putting forward a slate featuring a majority of nonwhite filmmakers .I think it’s also possible that any of the 10 directors listed here could secure a nomination, as voters are still sifting through these movies. Most have been on the academy’s streaming platform for some time.

If Powers earns a nomination here for his sterling adaptation of his own 2013 play and picks up a nod for cowriting “Soul,” he will become just the second person to pull off that feat. The other? Francis Ford Coppola, nominated for his 1974 films “The Godfather Part II” and “The Conversation.” It’d be nice if voters found some room to honor “First Cow” and “I’m Thinking of Ending Things,” daring, evocative adaptations that topped critics lists.

GlennWhipp Why are oscars still so white? Every year it seems like the nominations are nothing but white people name Greenblatstein or Silverbergowitz. Do better Hollywood.
