Nominations for the 2012 Academy Awards haven’t even been released (although a Hypable user has posted a fantastic summary of possible candidates right here), but if you want to get into the Oscar spirit, this round table interview should do the trick!
The Hollywood Reporter (via Slashfilm) has gotten six of the year’s best directors (Alexander Payne [The Descendants], Mike Mills [Beginners], Steve McQueen [Shame], Bennett Miller [Moneyball] Jason Reitman [Young Adult],and Michel Hazanavicius [The Artist]) around a table for an in-depth interview!
The interview runs an hour long, so heat up some coffee or tea and enjoy!
So what did you think? Germain at Slashfilm noticed David Fincher and Stephen Spielberg missing from the room, but we’re looking for Martin Scorcese and Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn. Is there an admirable director from 2011 that you wish was part of the interview?
