    He's a megalomaniac, like Orson Welles.

    Get ready for Vestman!

    ^ Except for not doing a film that people have seen, for the past 2 years. :ninja:

    He's a good director and all, but clearly this is an award that makes no logical sense from it's title. I'm thinking this is just a way of thanking him for the exclusive TDK footage. :o

    I was thinking the same thing. Prestige was his last movie and it came out in 2006.

    Well a lot of awards seem to do this, give them the award when they have not done anything at the current time to get it. Sometimes its more honoring the director as a whole, not for just one year.

    I mean come on Martin's Oscar that he got for The Departed, that movie was no where near his best, and was not worthy of an Oscar....yet to me it was more because the Academy felt he deserved it from the past.
