Haven´t seen Esther Kahn. Polanski´s won was totally deserved. As for Daldry I consider him an excellent director.Sabin wrote:Hey, Esther Kahn is better than The Pianist and Talk to Her. No idea why you're bemoaning the exclusion of Stephen Daldry.(Sorry guys, what have you done in this category? (Polansky and Daldry out?)

Copy that. I had to think very hard about my choice. I think Polanski and Almodovar are two of the best nominees this decade, but my viewing of Esther Kahn knocked me on my ass. I was going to replace Julianne Moore for The Hours with Ronit Elkabetz for Late Marriage or Isabelle Huppert for 8 Women, or Ed Harris with Andy Serkis or Alan Arkin, or preserve Nicolas Cage or Michael Caine...but Esther Kahn is the one film I was sure would not see its rightful day here. Talk to Her and The Pianist have already reaped their share fo accolades and can go slightly wanting here.
