Sean Fennessey

With a very encouraging August 28th release date.

You will.

We'll be potting about that movie.

It's a Jacob Elordi film.

He is.

So he's got a new movie coming out.

I don't think it's going to be contending for Best Picture this year, but he has three Best Director nominations for Thelma & Louie's Gladiator and Black Hawk Down.

Fascinating to think that he was not nominated for Alien or Blade Runner or any number of the, you know...

majestic classics that he has created over the years.

Also had a Best Picture nomination for The Martian, but did not get nominated for Best Director for The Martian.

He's historically been a very overlooked

icon of film directing and he's a huge massive part of the industry he is among the most prolific filmmakers he's also presides over a huge production company with Scott Free that he started with his brother Tony he's like one of the dons of commercial directing and he's gotten into television like he's a huge huge huge huge Hollywood figure but

And I think Amongst Cinephiles is beloved.

But he's never quite cracked this realm in any meaningful way.

Yeah.

And was that Ang Lee won for Best Director that year?

No.

Who won for Best Director in 2000?

It would be the 2001 Academy Awards.

I don't know why my brain is blanking.
