	Clint Eastwood wins best director Oscar for Million Dollar Baby : HindustanTimes.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Clint Eastwood's best director win for Million Dollar Baby at Sunday's Oscars marks the end of his decades-long struggle to be recognised as a serious filmmaker rather than merely an iconic tough guy.
		He is renowned for his relaxed directorial style and movie trademarks, including the gritty and often dark themes of his films, the working-class backgrounds of his protagonists and a freeze frame after the last scene over which the credits roll.
		Eastwood is a relaxed director and never yells the traditional commands "action" and cut." Instead, he just says "OK" to order the cameras to roll and "That's enough of that shit" when he wants them to stop.

		Belcher's rant against this "godless jungle" of a world is representative of the fine performances director James Black was able to extract from the entire lot of his actors.
		Best known for his mesmerizing performances in productions at the Alley over the past decade, Black lately has shown a clear passion and uncanny knack for directing.

	2002 Best Director and Best Picture Picks
		Polanski’s film is truly a spectacle and one of the very best films of the year.
		While there is great discussion on whether or not there is a better version of this film that could be released, there is no doubt that this is a very strong epic film.
		I really believe that Scorsese deserves this award and will be given the statue this year if not strictly for his work on this film, then definitely for his work as a whole.

	Cannes 2003 Diary Day 6: Lars von Trier Wows the Croisette with "Dogville"
		Quite the opposite is true: his new film is a major work of cinematic ambition made triply admirable considering that it is the first in a projected trilogy about a woman named Grace (played with remarkable aplomb by Nicole Kidman) and her soul-searching as she experiences humanity at its best and worst.
		On the surface, the three-hour "Dogville" seems a tired retread of von Trier's Golden Heart trilogy, which began with 1996's "Breaking the Waves," continued with 1998's "The Idiots" and concluded with "Dancer": stories about self-sacrificing women who allow themselves to be completely humiliated and destroyed, all in the name of redemption and higher love.
		In contrast to the reportedly contentious relationship von Trier had with his last star, Bjork (who won Cannes' award for best actress), the director seemed playfully at ease and even affectionate with Kidman.

		A jury composed of forty members of the public gave the BNL award for Best First or Second Film to "Bye Bye Blackbird" by Robinson Savary.
		It can be a bit disorienting, however, to see a large part of the lifetime of an actor or director pass by in a short timeframe, and to watch the move from youthful exurbarance to adult complacency.
		The movie is another example of a positive globalization effect: The Director is German, and the main actress (Indian) reports that she never worked so hard.

		With a Golden Globe win for Best Picture (Comedy) and directing acclaim from the Boston Film Critics and New York Film Critics Association, it’s clear that Sofia has a long future ahead of her, and one that will be paved with Oscar gold in years to come.
