Best Director may not be the top prize — but it’s the category that sparks the loudest arguments.
In Episode 8 of Below the Line’s 2026 Oscar series, Skid is joined by Katie Carroll, Bill Hardy, and Shaun O’Banionto break down the nominees for the Academy Award for Best Director at the 98th Academy Awards. With years of shared on-set experience and a long-running panel dynamic, the conversation is sharp, occasionally irreverent, and grounded in what it actually takes to steer a production at this level.
As with the rest of this year’s Oscar series, the conversation is available both as an audio podcast and as a full video episode on YouTube.
Our discussion ranges across:
Chloé Zhao’s restraint in "Hamnet", and how stillness and intimacy compete against larger canvases in this category
The spirited (and sometimes hilarious) divide over "Marty Supreme" — its length, its chaos, and the argument over what discipline looks like on screen
Paul Thomas Anderson’s command of tone in "One Battle After Another", and the logistical confidence required to orchestrate narrative sprawl
Joachim Trier’s delicate handling of memory and performance in "Sentimental Value", and the quiet authority behind that control
Ryan Coogler’s genre-blending ambition in "Sinners", and the risks that come with expanding the boundaries of a franchise
The case for "Frankenstein" as a nomination that could have reshaped the race — and why its absence sparked genuine debate at the table
The episode carries the easy banter of collaborators who’ve spent years dissecting this category together — complete with side bets, mock outrage, and the occasional good-natured jab — but underneath the laughs is a serious respect for the director’s role: holding the vision, protecting performance, and keeping a sprawling production aligned from prep through post.
