Which Oscar-Nominated Director Will Appear on Gossip Girl?

Here's something you probably never thought you'd see: According to Kristin Dos Santos of E! Online, one of the five Oscar-nominated directors from this year's Academy Award ceremony is apparently scheduled to appear on Gossip Girl later this spring. Who is the mystery director?

David O. Russell, of course! The Fighter director will play himself on an upcoming episode of the show, and judging from the accompanying picture, he may even have a movie role in mind for Serena Van Der Woodsen. Which is pretty meta, since Gossip Girl star Blake Lively is on the short list of every Hollywood blockbuster seemingly in development -- the latest being Savages.

No truth to the rumor Darren Aronofsky is still waiting for a callback from 90210.
