Moon River's rating:
I get headaches when i think that directors like Hitchcock or Nolan don't even have a STINKIN' OSCAR!!! Ooo, Academy! You nominate them over the years, they don't win and then you give them a Honorary Award! Smooth!!
In the end, it doesn't matter because I (and you) know they're brilliant with or without an Oscar.
*I didn't put directors who won an Oscar ( not for directing ).
Directors like Stanley Kubrick, Orson Welles or Tarantino were not added because they have an Oscar (not for directing) but they have one.
