...not that it takes a rocket scientist to figure out who he's voting for. He posted this on his Twitter account (here), and I couldn't resist posting it here.

Something tells me he might vote for himself, though it'd be pretty classy of him not to.
ReplyDeleteHe should vote for himself. The only one i know wont vote for mhimself is Tarantino.
ReplyDeletePerhaps
ReplyDeleteIf I was voting...I think my order would be Reitman, Bigelow, Tarantino, Cameron, and Daniels...but that's just me.
ReplyDeleteMy order would be Tarantino, Cameron, Reitman, Bigelow, and Daniels (actually, could I not vote for the final two instead?).
ReplyDeleteQT no question. I'm trying to figure out how to say this without sounding like I'm saying "im right"...lol...um...the other names might as well be Uwe Boll, Tyler Perry, and the likes to me...its really just kind of unfair in my opinion. Only thing that could even make me flinch is how groundbreaking visually of a film Avatar is other then that its like just a no brainer.(I'm talking my preference not prediction sadly I dont think he'll win)
ReplyDelete1 Bigelow, 2 Reitman. Personal favs Spike Jonze and Lars Von Trier.
ReplyDeleteBigelow for me.
ReplyDeleteOf these five, I'd go with Bigelow, but my personal favorite of the year will always belong to Spike Jonze.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is entitled to their preferences (I know if I had my way, Marc Webb and Spike Jonze would replace Lee Daniels and James Cameron here), but if we're looking at this terms of who is most likely to win, it's Bigelow in front with Cameron and potentially Reitman as the upset.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen Up in the Air but my order is:
ReplyDelete4. Lee Daniels
3. James Cameron
2. Kathryn Bigelow
1. Quentin Tarantino
And I agree about having Marc Webb up there.
I can't recommend Up in the Air enough, and I'm glad someone else though highly of Webb's work...
ReplyDeleteIdeally for me JJ Abrams, Zack Snyder and The Coen Brothers would replace; Reitman, Daniels and Bigelow.
ReplyDeletethe coens and spike jonze replace reitman and daniels for me, and tarantino wins it all
ReplyDeleteWebb's work is phenomenal!! not top 5 material imo but phenomenal nonetheless. There's a bigger following for him than you think
ReplyDeleteThat's excellent to know
ReplyDeleteReitman would get my check mark, Tarintino as an alternate, and Bigelow as second runner-up.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree about replacing Cameron and Daniels. I'd put Ford (mediocre script with beautiful direction) and Jackson (I know, I know. I'm the only man on the planet that loved LB) in their places.

ReplyDeleteloved the lovely bones also I think it's grossly underrated. And I don't think A Single Man was necessarily a mediocre script, but the direction was definitely phenomenal. I would not argue him getting a nomination. I finished my personal directors (I haven't seen the Last Station).
ReplyDeleteSpike Jonze (Where the Wild Things Are), Lars Von Trier (Antichrist), Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker), Clint Eastwood (Invictus), Jason Reitman (Up in the Air)
Honorable Mentions: Lee Daniels (Precious), Wes Anderson (Fantastic Mr. Fox), Joel and Ethan Coen (A Serious Man), Peter Jackson (The Lovely Bones), Tom Ford (A Single Man)
James Cameron (Avatar), Oren Movermen (The Messenger)
While I don't think Jackson deserves a nod, I too thought Lovely Bones was very underrated and would have been a great movie if it weren't for
ReplyDeleteSPOILERS
Tucci's character's horrible, horrible death scene
I don't care much for that movie overall, but I agree that scene in particular is rather horrendous...
