      is it only living directors? i feel like even filmbros recognise the talent of the likes of akira kurosawa and andrei tarkovsky

      Directors from the last 25 years.

      >64 candidates
      homie I can only name like 10 directors total

      Don't EVER call Nolan a DIRECTOR.
      Nolan is a WRITER and DIRECTOR unlike frauds like Spielberg, Ridley Scott, Fincher and Hitchwiener who don't write screenplays and only direct.
      Scott and Fincher have never written a screenplay. LOL
      I'm sick and tired of walking on egg shells and pretending Nolan isn't the GOAT of cinema. People bring up frauds like Spielberg when you make the argument.
      Nolan could easily only direct other peoples great scripts like Spielberg and make billion dollar films and own Spielberg without breaking a sweat.
      Oppenheimer is an R rated film about a Bomb thats making almost a Billion. Speilberg makes movies that bomb.
      There is a reason why millions of people show up to watch a Christopher Nolan movie, while these boomer frauds complain that their Oscar bait trash flops hard.
      Nolan is an Artist. He is an auteur. He is a visionary. He should never be compared to frauds like Spielberg who only direct.
      Nolan should only be compared to other artists like Akira Kurosawa, Yasujirō Ozu, Bong Joon-Ho, Park Chan-wook, Asghar Farhadi, Hirokazu Koreeda, Rodrigo Sorogoyen, Pedro Almodóvar and Wong Kar-wai.

        But he is a director. Besides I don't see why this specifically holds any point when it's literally about just directing.

          Because directing other peoples great scripts is easy. The real test is if you can write and direct a great movie like Nolan.
          It's not an equal playing field.

            well the contest isn't about writing. It's about directing. if you feel that directing is a meaningless title, so be it. But that doesn't mean everyone has to agree with you.

              Nolan could easily only direct other people great scripts and make better movies than Jaws and E.T.
              But Spielberg could never write and direct a movie like Inception on his own because he's a fraud who can only tell people where to stand.

                Only a wannabe screenwriter could retain this high of an opinion of them. Most people wisely don't think about them at all.

          Maybe it's only directors that started in the last 25 years?

            It seems like it's directors that released their first feature in the last 25 years. PTA made Hard Eight in 1996. Nolan's Following is from 1998.

      They had to curate the right selection because Oppenheimer's ad team paid them to make sure Nolan wins

    no Kubrick and the fact that Peele made it even close is hilarious. his first movie was okay but it went downhill pretty quickly.

    Sofia Coppola directs circles around Chazzelle

    Nolan isn’t even a better director than Mendes, neither of visuals nor actors
    This is just for starters

    Any director that's worked for Marvel should immediately lose on sheer principle
