I've just come from the "Directors on Directing" panel discussion at the Lobero theatre. A good one. Quentin Tarantino delivered the most entertaining riffs; Kathryn Bigelow and James Cameron, sitting beside each other, were a kind of tag team and ranked a close second. The other panelists were Lee Daniels (Precious), Pete Docter (Up) and Todd Phillips (The Hangover). It was moderated by Variety's Peter Bart.

Finally saw AN EDUCATION last night, I assume Jeff is off at the "Virtuosos" award thing. Guess we can expect one last bemoanment about Carey Mulligan's Oscar chances when he is done and I can point out the biggest obstacle the film had with it's odds of actually winning anything.
