Miyazaki should win for all of his contributions to filmmaking in general. He is easily one of the world's greatest filmmakers, living or dead - it just so happens he works with animated beings rather than live ones.
And holy shit, Scorsese better win this year. He fucking deserves it. How many other filmmakers can say that they have one of the best (arguably the best) of the 1970s (Taxi Driver), 1980s (Raging Bull), and 1990s (Goodfellas). While Im sure it means little to him it would be nice if he gets what he deserved 27 years ago.
