Which will happen first ?
A Nolan directed film winning a best director or best picture oscar
Or
A Snyder directed film winning an Oscar in any category however minor.
>one makes movies that have broad appeal, but are The Big Bang Theory of cinema allowing the stupid to feel smart, the ignorant feel informed
>the other makes films that have an excess of underlying themes and many of them are so filled with subplots, parallel metaphors, and metaphors they need to either have 4 hour director's cuts or be edited heavily to get to the bones of the movie
Honestly Nolan is watchable, Snyder makes more interesting film, but Nolan will probably get a best picture because his films are very well marketed during the award seasons and that has way more impact than the film itself.
This has been posted a million times but it's something everyone should be aware of: http://www.vulture.com/2014/01/miramax-oscar-campaigns-harvey-weinstein-timeline.html
The idea that a film won best picture/director/lead/etc is in no way indicative that it was better than any of its competitors. The only thing awards convey currently is the marketing effort to win the award was better than its competitors or it had the right 'message'
>Hidden figures was even nominated
>Birdman, which I love, beat Whiplash
>12 years a slave beat Captain Phillips, Wolf of Wall Street, and fucking Nebraska

suicide squad won an oscar so anything is possible. Anything is possible because the oscars are a virtue signalling, failing joke of an organization.

Even Nolan had to pass directing Man of Steel to Snyder because he knew he couldnt bare such a huge burden of creating a capekino masterpiece.
