HANG THE ACADEMY

For Best Director:

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Paramount and Warner Bros.), David Fincher
Frost/Nixon (Universal), Ron Howard
Milk (Focus Features), Gus Van Sant
The Reader (The Weinstein Company), Stephen Daldry
Slumdog Millionaire (Fox Searchlight), Danny Boyle

Where the hell is the Dark Knight? I watched that movie in an I-max and it made me dizzy at times. Breathtaking. Plus, isn't part of directing getting performances out of your actors? Yeah, Heath Ledger's Joker was no big deal..... jerks.

I got a pencil right here, and I know what to do with it.
