Re: Best Director Oscar 2015
Please give it to Inarritu!!!
WTF is Tylum doing in the middle of those good directors? |
Re: Best Director Oscar 2015
I think Linklater is the front runner, but I am pulling for Wes Anderson.
|
Re: Best Director Oscar 2015
As much as I loved Iñárritu's daring and unique direction in Birdman, with the whole thing feeling like a fantastic free flowing poem, I don;t think there's much of a chance of someone taking this away from Linklater either.
|
Re: Best Director Oscar 2015
It basically comes down to Inarritu and Linklater.
|
Boyhood either takes Best Picture or this, I can't see it winning both. I say it wins Best Picture and this one goes to Inarritu or Wes Anderson
|
Re: Best Director Oscar 2015
I really love Birdman, just not quite as much as Budapest. I think Inarritu and his DP did something really special. I would love to see both of them win in their respective categories. I think its Linklater though.

Re: Best Director Oscar 2015
Boyhood is that good???
I promised my gf I'd watch it with her and she's been working a lot so I still didn't get the chance! |
Re: Best Director Oscar 2015
I'm guessing that it'll be between Boyhood and Birdman, although here I'm thinking that the latter has the edge. Stylistically, it's a contemporary Rope, and compared very strongly to it when all is said and done.

Linklater.

Re: Best Director Oscar 2015
Morten Tyldum, The Imitation Game
Birdman is masterfully directed, but The Grand Budapest Hotel is stunning and probably the best think Anderson has done so far. |
Re: Best Director Oscar 2015
I predict Richard Linklater.

Re: Best Director Oscar 2015
Wes Anderson has VERY little chance of winning this year, but I have been waiting and waiting for the Academy to finally acknowledge him in a big way. This is it. He had screenplay nominations before, and Fantastic Mr. Fox was up for Animated Feature, but to break through with Picture and Director nominations is wonderful. More likely he'll be back again and again, now, and hopefully one of those years things will line up for him to actually win.
But it ain't gonna be this year. This is Linklater's to lose, and if he does, it'll be Iñárritu. The other three are just taking up space, honored to be nominated. |

On another note, what is up with Bennett Miller being here again? I'm pretty sure he has pictures of influential members of the Academy. And Foxcatcher was okay, but there are some serious enough flaws in the character development that a better director would have addressed. And Wes Anderson sucks. We all know this. Go back to the record store you hipster. |

He is the best director this year for doing something not any of his peers had done before, but that doesn't mean he made the best film, so... |
Re: Best Director Oscar 2015
I could feasibly see Boyhood not taking Best Picture, but I'd be amazed if Linklater didn't take Best Director.
|
Will win: Richard Linklater, Boyhood
Dark horse: Alejandro González Iñárritu, Birdman Should win: Alejandro González Iñárritu, Birdman Should've been nominated: Damien Chazelle, Whiplash |
