Editors' Oscars Picks: Who Should Win ... and Who Will4 of 10
Best Director
Who Should Win? Probably Alfonso Cuarón, who previously won this award for Gravity and took home the Golden Globe for directing last month. But we're saying Spike Lee, who finally earned a Best Director nomination for BlacKkKlansman (after more than 30 years in the business) and seems to be riding a groundswell of public support. Does it matter than BlacKkKlansman is probably only his third or fourth best movie? Don't ruin this for us.
Who Will Win? It's a two-horse race between Cuarón and Lee. The experts are picking Cuarón ... we're going with the upset: Spike Lee wins.
