2014 Grantland Oscars Preview: Best Director
Grantland’s Wesley Morris and Chris Connelly break down the Best Director category, which comes down to the directors of two excellent movies that couldn’t be more different. Will Steve McQueen’s heart-wrenching 12 Years a Slave or Alfonso Cuarón’s technically brilliant Gravity win? They also consider Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street, Alexander Payne’s Nebraska, and David O. Russell’s American Hustle.
