In his latest Oscar spitball projection, THR’s Scott Feinberg is stating that the top five Best Director contenders are Oppie’s Chris Nolan (no Hiroshima–Nagasaki horror), Barbie’s Greta Gerwig (reward the earnings), KOTFM’s Martin Scorsese (weakest film since Shutter Island), Poor Things’ Yorgos Lanthimos (deserved) and….wait, The Zone of Interest’s Jonathan Glazer? Since when?
Feinberg really and truly believes that Glazer is currently ranking higher, esteem-wise, than Maestro’s Bradley Cooper and The Holdover’s Alexander Payne?
HE’s perfect five: Nolan, Gerwig, Lanthimos, Payne, Cooper.
