Particularly when no one else is standing out as "lone director" material. For example, neither Demme nor Aronofsky has managed a single directing award. Ditto for their films in best picture. I think it's either Leigh, Stanton (yeah I said it) or no one, i.e. Ron Howard.adam k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13485604493059621307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-64829536237615776552009-01-03T19:51:00.000-05:002009-01-03T19:51:00.000-05:00Edge of Heaven is eligible this year but do you ex...Edge of Heaven is eligible this year but do you expect most AMPAS watchers will have seen it?
