In case no one didn't notice: Woody Allen won hist fourth oscar tonight, his first one since 1987.

Too bad that Scorsese didn't win either. These two guys are the two best living US directors imo.


you are right...great that you said "US" and "living"...without that i would had like 30 vetos ^^

but i think we also can add Tarantino to that list...okay he is not totally original and you can see so many influences in his movies but Reservoir Dogs,Pulp Fiction,Kill Bill 1 & Inglorious Basterds are definatly one of the best movies from the 90s & 00s...i dont say he is better than Woody and hell no better than Scocese but he is definatly up there...

Of course I consider them "only" the two best living US directors. The only other one that could compete (now that Altman is not around anymore) would be Coppola. Then Lynch, Tarantino and - yes - Spielberg would follow. If we were speaking about all US directors: So many to consider, from Capra to Wilder, from Huston to Ford...there were dozens, hard to pick the best one.
