Oscars 2023: From Martin McDonagh to Steven Spielberg: Meet the Best Director nominees
Steven Spielberg, 'The Fabelmans'
The top favourite, Spielberg will probably go on to win the third Best Director Oscar of his career. 'The Fabelmans' has flaws, but it is a moving tale of a child who grows up on a steady diet of good movies and becomes one of the greatest filmmakers the world has ever seen.
Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, 'Everything Everywhere All at Once'
Directors of perhaps the most fun movie of the year, the Daniels used their paltry (for sci-fi movies) budget of $100 million to great effect. Their take on the multiverse might teach the Marvel filmmakers a thing or two about storytelling.
Martin McDonagh, 'The Banshees of Inisherin'
'The Banshees of Inisherin' is the favourite to take the Best Picture trophy, and McDonagh will likely clinch the Best Screenplay statuette. But he might also win the Best Director. He certainly deserves it.
Todd Field, 'Tár'
Featuring a transcendent performance by one of our greatest actors Cate Blanchett, 'Tár' might surprise us by giving Field a Best Director Oscar. A nomination bodes well for his chances.
Ruben Östlund, Triangle of Sadness
Ruben Ostlund has earned an Oscar nomination for his critically acclaimed work in 'Triangle of Sadness'.
