The RyMickey Awards - Best Director

Best Director 2009

Runners-up: 
#8 - Quentin Tarantino - Inglourious Basterds 
#7 - Rian Johnson - The Brothers Bloom 
#6 - Duncan Jones - Moon


And the Final Five...

#5 - Jane Campion - Bright Star
The film looks beautiful and Campion gets some great performances from her cast.

#4 - Oren Moverman - The Messenger
The camera is just there...in the midst of it all...never shying away or hiding from the emotional devastation on display.

#3 - James Cameron - Avatar
Gotta give credit where credit is due.  He's kind of a genius when it comes to mass-market appeal.

#2 - Joel and Ethan Coen - A Serious Man
The opposite of Cameron, these guys aren't around for mass-market appeal.  This film's on the risky side, but the payoff is stellar.

#1 - Kathryn Bigelow - The Hurt Locker
Tense.  'Nuff said.
