| | Steel White Table - “Best” Movie Director |
 | | Movies (Hollywood) are a worst 90 minutes of blantant and overt advertising for what your life and what products you should use and at best are mindnumbing entertainments with the only thought processes revolving around how many arses this project will put in theater seats. | | | While I disagree that Spielberg “is only a craftsman”, it’s highly problematic to compare directors from different eras. | | | You wanna talk visionaries, there you have one! |

| | Oscar Best Director & Picture |
| | Co-writer of the script, hands on with every technical aspect and special effect (including the creation of several processes that are now used by other film-makers), it seems implausible to imagine anyone but Jackson and his Hobbits walking away with Oscar. | | | Despite being touted early in 2003 as the movie to beat, the film fell short of theater expectations. | | | Hollywood loves Clint and with nominations for Brian Helgeland’s script adaptation, a Best Actor nod for Sean Penn, Best Supporting nods for Marcia Gay Harden and the already award winning Tim Robbins, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least to see Clint ride into the sunset with his second directorial Oscar. |
