Backed by the service and security of american express. Announcer please welcome writer, producer and director, j. J. Abrams. To the five directors nominated tonight, you have been singled out for your courage. The courage to stay true to your visions, to inspire passion in your casts and crews, and to dream, even though dreams can easily and unexpectedly turn into nightmares. But despite the inherent risks, the astounding films youve made have resulted in a combined 37 nominations, including this award. Here are the nominees for achievement in directing. Im just a big believer in, you do what you need to do to tell the story. Adam mckay, the big short. Its a story about whats happening right this second. Its got the importance and fun to it, as well. Like to work as much as i possibly can for as long as i lenny abrahamson, room. Tom mccarthy, spotlight. Involved in the presence of thinking the thing into existence. At the end of the day, our job is to tell stories, but it is nice to feel like the movie has something to say. Tom mccarthy, spotlight. Its rare you get to work on material that you genuinely believe has social relevance, and so, i feel like we were really motivated by that. The way i approach this was long takes, not many cuts. Alejandro g. Inarritu, the revenant. Very precise choreography. Rehearse. Beautiful way to use what cinema is for. Shooting mostly in continuity replicated what the chase is. George miller, mad max fury road. It was an opportunity to do what i attempted to do back technology. And the oscar goes to alejandro g. Inarritu, the revenant. This is the fourth oscar and seventh nomination for alejandro g. Inarritu. He took home three oscars last year for rdman. Thank you to the academy.

My producers, all the people i i am very lucky to be here but unfortunately, many others havent had the same luck. There is a line in the film that says, they dont listen to you, when they see the color of your skin. So, what a great opportunity to our generation to really liberate ourselves from all prejudice and, you know, this way of thinking and make sure for once and forever that the color of skin become as irrelevant and the length of our hair.
