Jack Bender, director and co-executive producer of Lost, has confirmed that Juliet has been killed off in a recent interview:

Jack Bender has actually been an executive producer since about halfway through the first season. In the interview, he also says that the premiere will be a "Parts 1 & 2" kind of deal with Bender directing both parts and Lindelof and Cuse writing both, unlike last year when ABC just decided to air "Because You Left" and "The Lie" together, even though they had different writers, directors and titles. The two-hour finale will also be directed by Bender and Bender said that J.J. Abrams will most likely not be involved with it at any stage of production.
I'm assuming the "final image" that Matthew Fox talks about will be a closeup of Jack's eye again.

Oh man, I just want it to be cool. Please Lindelof and Cuse, make a great LOST finale. I have invested a lot of time in this show. I just want the ending to be good. Eek, I am excited and nervous all at once for the final season.
DemonHog's comments reminded me of this recent article in TIME Magazine, in which J.J. Abrams explains why he will be letting Jack Bender direct the finale:

Well he said it will be touching and redemptive and a whole bunch of other adjectives I can't remember. However, he also admitted to not knowing what complete context the image is in. In other words, it would be something that we would go "Awwww" to without even seeing the rest of the episode. I doubt its Jack's eye.

I note that Lindelof/Cuse completely avoided answering the question about whether Locke is really permanently dead in that interview. Maybe there is hope that this story will be developed next year, and Locke's character arc didn't totally end when Ben strangled him?
Jack Bender also flat-out ignored a question about whether Dominic Monaghan would be back at all for season 6. Seriously, I could almost hear crickets chirping when he was asked about Dominic coming back. I kind of liked the appearance of "Ghost" Charlie in Season 4. Wouldn't mind seeing Charlie again, at all.

I think he's only talking about the end of Jack's story there. There was an interview with the producers in Death Ray magazine not too long ago in which they said that Matthew Fox only knows things pertaining to Matthew Fox/Jack.

I thought I was the only one.

I was thinking that the final image might be something superfinal like all the losties are dead. I imagine them all lying there like that time they shot up the wedding on Dynasty. The reason I thought that is because someone asked him if he thought there would be a movie after the show was over and he said something like there couldn't be, based on the final image.

So there you go. He is ambidextrous.
Thank you very much!!! I was genuinely bothered about that. I should get out more!
Something I have in common with Sawyer! Cool! I write left-handed by choice. But, I can write legibly with my right hand. I can throw and catch, bat, bowl, golf etc. all with both hands. Actually, I think I would be much better at those things if I could figure out which hand to use. LOL.
Does Josh Holloway being in the supporting actor category limit him to submitting an episode in which he is supporting one of the leads, Lilly or Fox? LaFleur has been mentioned as a possible submission but he is the lead in that ep. His character is LaFleur! Who is he supporting?
It'd be most appropriate to have J.J. Abrams direct the series finale..I really really like Jack Bender, but still.....I'm sure he'd let Abrams direct, right? I really hope Abrams is involved in directing at least ONE of the last season's episodes..anybody think that's a possiblility?

No the tape doesn't have to prove that he is supporting...just has to show what a great actor he is.
I have to say I love reading this thread with all the questions/answers thrown around. i don't normally have anything to add, but it is a good read!

Possibly the largest misconception about Lost is J.J. Abrams's involvement with the series. This calls for a refresher on J.J. Abrams and Jack Bender's history with the series:
J.J. Abrams co-creates the series, executive producing, co-writing and directing episodes 1 and 2. He leaves the series at episode 9 to direct Mission: Impossible III. He returns at the beginning of season 3 after the story has been mapped out to co-write the premiere script and oversee post-production of the first four episodes before leaving to produce Cloverfield. He was scheduled to direct the seventh episode of the season, but he was busy. He is yet to return to Lost.
Meanwhile, Jack Bender joins the series at episode 3, directing it as a co-executive producer. He becomes one of the two lead directors, heads physical production in Hawaii and is promoted to executive producer with episode 14. He goes on to direct every season finale and the premieres to seasons 2 to 4.
So let us recap. J.J. Abrams directed two episodes, co-wrote three, co-created the series and oversaw production on around thirteen episodes. Jack Bender has directed thirty-four episodes and led physical production for 101 episodes. It sounds most appropriate for Jack Bender to direct the series finale. However, it would be nice to see J.J. Abrams direct an episode of the final season.
Also, while I am here talking about directors, let us not forget Stephen Williams, the other of the two regular directors. He directed two episodes of the first season before joining full-time as a producer in the second season. He was promoted to supervising producer in the third season and co-executive producer in the fourth. He has directed twenty-six episodes altogether, including the fifth season premiere and is now the third most senior crewmember in Hawaii.
