Slackhurst Broadcasting 374 Posted January 23 17 hours ago, tracy said: Also, I think the DL committee isn't generally interested in filmmakers outside of the ultra-famous ones. Godard seems like their only recent pick in terms of guys who are really only notable behind the camera. They didn't go for Zeffirelli, Donen, Neame, Lewis Gilbert, Peter Brook, haven't picked Corman, Jodorowsky, etc Has Roman Polanski ever been picked? Possibly the most famous living director, certain to be big news when he goes - albeit much comment will be along the lines of "burn in hell." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He looks very well for 90 in the BTS stuff for The Palace. I think he'll probably have a couple more years in him before he becomes worth DL consideration.
