"Nolan is one of the most talented directors working today whose films consistently achieve both critical acclaim and boxoffice success," ShoWest co-managing director Mitch Neuhauser said. "His ability to grab hold of an audience from the opening frame and not let go until the very end of each film is a testament to his ability as a master storyteller."

Congrats to Nolan. Well deserved.

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

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.

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.
