Re: 93rd Oscars: Best Directing
As Greg stated in the Cinematography topic, the last time the first award won by a film being Director was when Mike Nichols won...HarryGoldfarb wrote:And it must also be very unusual, if not for the first time, that the first award a movie receives is best director... I think it's the first time since McCarey (The Awful Truth).

Really great speech - perhaps they did it so early because it seemed so foregone?

It's certainly unusual since it's most often the penultimate award or even one of the last three before picture.

Oscarguy, ever thought you'd post "X Oscars: Best Directing" in the first hour of a broadcast?
"What the hell?"
