The Directors Guild of America has released their nominations for Outstanding Directorial Acheivement in Television for 2007. For me, these are a little harder to give an opinion about, since the nominations are largely about one particular episode of the series, rather than the series as a whole.

You can get the full list after the jump, or at the (incredibly designed) Official DGA Website.
