As you all know from the previous House spoilers, Hugh Laurie will be given a break at his directorial debut this season of "House".  He will direct the 17th episode of season 6 and he's already prepping up for this event.  It's now attracting some serious Oscar buzz, according to Michael Ausiello at Ew.com.  The patient-of-the-week on that episode has been chosen by Hugh Laurie himself, according to producer, Katie Jacobs.  Who is the lucky guy?  It is actor David Strathairn, who had an Oscar nomination for portraying the character of Edward R.Morrow in the movie, "Good Night, and Good Luck". Jacobs also said that this episode of Hugh will have a different format, "a tense, change-of-pace hour".
