Journalists React to Lack of Ridley Scott Best Director Nomination

It's this year's biggest Oscars shocker.

Before this morning’s announcement of the 2015 Academy Award nominees, more than a few Oscar prognosticators had Ridley Scott finally winning a Best Director prize for The Martian. He’s nominated at the DGA end this year for the brilliant Matt Damon film, and was also in the running at the Golden Globes; but he has never won that particular little gold guy. The 78-year-old Brit has been nominated in the past in the Best Director Oscar category for Thelma & Louise, Gladiator and Black Hawk Down.
