The Question: Despite receiving huge critical acclaim for the majority of his filmography to date, director Christopher Nolan has yet to earn a Best Director Oscar nomination. Will his World War II film be the one to finally clinch him some major awards love from his peers?

The Likely Answer: This is a tough one, but a WWII film is definitely Nolan's most Academy-friendly movie to date, and considering the highly positive reception to the 7-minute clip attached to screenings of Rogue One, he certainly sounds like a firm contender.

If it can capture the classic war movie feel that older Oscar voters typically love, he could very well get there.
