Bafta Best Director
BAFTA - Best Director
A look at the five contenders for Best Director at the 2010 BAFTAS.
Neill Blomkamp
Blomkamp’s District 9 was greenlit after the success of his short film Alive in Joburg, which deals with similar themes of aliens and alienation.
Kathryn Bigelow
Bigelow was married for two years to her rival in many of the categories this year, James Cameron.
Quentin Tarantino
Tarantino has been generous with his time to younger up-and-coming directors, even allowing Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz director Edgar Wright to live in his house while he made his Hollywood debut.
James Cameron
Despite being known for hugely expensive works, Cameron began his career under the tutelage of Roger Corman, the renowned director/producer of ultra-low budget films.
Lone Scherfig
Known for her intensely personal style of work, An Education director Scherfig is the granddaughter of celebrated Danish author Hans Scherfig.
