Best Director:
Wes Anderson – The Grand Budapest Hotel
Alejandro González Iñárritu – Birdman
Ava DuVernay – Selma
Damien Chazelle – Whiplash
Bennett Miller – Foxcatcher
I have less to say here only because I don’t think any of these are too far-fetched for nominations, aside for maybe Bennett Miller. Ava DuVernay created a tonally aggressive film and succeeded largely because of it. Wes Anderson produced his best film yet in a strong filmography. Alejandro González Iñárritu changed the game and Damien Chazelle burst onto the scene with style and confidence.
