Oscar fails month continues with the 2009 Best Director category.
Danny Boyle's "Slumdog Millionaire" is probably the best choice of those nominated. The direction was best when the characters were young in the slums of Bombay, but it bogged down in the second half. Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" is a modern day film noir masterpiece that wasn't nominated for Best Picture. Matt, comic book movie hater, loved every second of it. Nolan's story telling and visual eye is everything we love on this show.
Next 2019, Rami Malek wins for "Bohemian Rhapsody" but was Willem Dafoe in "At Eternity's Gate" better? Tune in.
Thanks for listening!
