It's not that we don't think Howard will win, his is definitely the aberration, but it would be interesting to see what the few dissenters would be...after all, A Beautiful Mind did not wholly conquer the Adapted Screenplay poll.

Though this was overall an auspicious decade in the category, I find, oddly, not once did my pick for the year match the Academy's. A further oddity: four of the winners WERE my picks, but in different years -- Lee in 2000, Jackson (tied with Altman) in '01, Eastwood in '03 and Scorsese in '04.
I considered the Coens, but, deciding their work is more script-dependent, ultimately landed with Ang Lee.
The real best director of the decade is, of course, Alfonso Cuaron for Children of Men.
