Distinguished Director
The recipient of the yearly Best Director award is a foregone conclusion - you. If one of your films comes out in a season, other directors and studios panic like mice and delay showing their work as it is merely pedestrian in comparison to your masterpieces. It has been a long road, but one filled with glorious visuals and shockingly touching drama. You have arrived !
