Mi se pare evident.

Best Director

Kathryn Bigelow, “The Hurt Locker“
James Cameron, “Avatar ”
Lee Daniels, “Precious”
Jason Reitman, “Up in the Air”
Quentin Tarantino, “Inglourious Basterds”

James Cameron nu merită Oscarul pentru cel mai bun regizor aşa cum nu a meritat nici Globul de Aur la aceeaşi categorie. Avatar este un film cu super efecte, cu buget enorm, coloană sonoră impresionantă, dar nu e rezultat al unei regii extraordinare. Dimpotrivă. The Hurt Locker este însă o capodoperă a maximizării prin minimalizare, cu resurse mici, Bigelow creează, vorba unui critic de film, o capodoperă a suspansului. Iar Tarantino, fuck it, omul e prea talentat ca să aibă nevoie şi de un Oscar pentru a-i confirma genialitatea.
