Golden Globe 2011 - Fincher is the Best director

[hateyou9001]

last year was one of the best of the history of movies: The social network, Inception, The king's Speech, and Black Swan!! this year wasnt good enough

[s7f56p49]

@hateyou9001 are you serious?! The Tree of Life, Drive, Melancholia, Another Earth, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The freakin Muppets, We Need To Talk About Kevin, Take Shelter, Hugo, Midnight in Paris, The Artist, The Descendants, Beginners, Warrior, Pina, War Horse, Chico & Rita, Young Adult... really? this year in movies was fucking awesome as well, i think.

[moviemaniac14]

The Golden Globes may suck at their nominations but in the end award the most deserving. The Oscars on the other hand do the EXACT OPPOSITE!!!!

[1Minute60Seconds]

tom hooper looks extremely gay, chris nolan looks like the MAN!!!

[daww2j0]

0:43 no fucks were given

yea you're cooool

[TheSHIZZ365]

Every time I see him, he always looks like he could give a shit

[ritsfata]

Got totally ripped off at the Oscars in my opinion.

[Mat294awesome]

So happy he won, he definitely should of won the oscar

[528491Inception]

i just wanna point something out 0:41 to 0:45, how nolan looks at his wife, thats true love

[DanAltuz]

She broke the 4th wall!

[godfatherofwiseguys]

i love the Coen's TRUE GRIT and especially their whole filmography. but i feel the "Globes" nominee, and winner for best director are the one that got it right. the Nolan snub is just a travesty.

[godfatherofwiseguys]

@godfatherofwiseguys *nominees

[markrulz30]

Tom Hooper looks like younger James Cameron! lol

[MrMazRules]

I have no idea why Tom Hooper got a nomination let alone won the Oscar...to me his direction seemed to lack any stamp or style...Fincher deserved the Oscar hands-down.

[TeamPBR2000]

@MrMazRules On the contrary, his film definitely had style, incredible visual style, wonderful collaboration with his cinematographer, directing Colin Firth to a flawless performance. He wasn't nominated for nothing.

[MrMazRules]

@TeamPBR2000 maybe I'd have to rewatch it...and i do agree Colin Firth did turn in a wonderful performance but Fincher's direction on the Social Network is nothing less than stunning. Fincher is one of the greatest storytellers of our generation, and deserves recognition.

[AlSupertramp51]

The Social Network soundtrack never fails to give me goosebumps.

[JimBoopLoop]

@tybonerFBO well he wrote a great movie...and fincher directed flawlessly

[MrPrincebinondo]

TOM HOOPER LOOKS LIKE JAMES CAMERON>>>>thumbs up if you agree

[ryanfoley123]

Just look at Tom Hooper's stupid face. Ugh! Smug bastard.

[MichaelChapman18]

For once I agreed with the Golden Globes more than the Oscars.

[JimBoopLoop]

i like how when that guy kissed fincher at 1:00 he raised his eyebrows like wtf!

[turkey1126]

@JimBoopLoop that guy was Aaron Sorkin

[soccerprog226]

How he didn't win the Oscar, I will never know.

[TwilightNeoli]

oh, Fincher had such sad eyes in the beginning...

[miketheman321]

1:02 Love his expression. He's thinking, "Did he just get saliva on my cheek?" :-)

[Kashish92]

He should have won the oscar. Oh well, now the academy can go to hell, where there are no flames just open space created by Tom Hooper.

[majesticmaniac]

Se7en, Fight Club, Zodiac, The social network....Four of my all time favs, made by the same director.....One word genius

[unlessitsafarm]

lol angelina is spacing out and realizes the camera is at her lol

[ilooveRK]

Waait, David Fincher won the Bafta and the Golden Globe.. where's his OSCAR?!

[Buzz0Killington]

Pure Flawlessness: 0:01 - 0:05

[thedrmat]

SO UNFAIR!! It took a friggin genius like David Fincher to elevate The Social Network to the level he did. There should have been, in either case, a split, to make things fair; The King's Speech for Best Picture, and The Social Network for Best Director.

[xxxPWNAGEFTDUBZxxx]

I felt like the HFP was surprisingly good this year. I nearly cried when he didn't win the Oscar.

[95Godfather]

Should have won the DAMN oscar!!!

[Mayna00]

@95Godfather I know. Still hurts. TOM HOOPER?! Any nameless faceless BBC4 assisstant director could have made that! It was a good movie, but the direction was just plain uninspired!

[roly1991]

@regulator619 Your acting like using 3D well is childsplay. CGI is hard to pull off, extremely hard as a matter a fact and more so when you put 3D in the mix. I never said The Dark Knight obviously wasn't just good because of Ledger but it made it wayy better than it should've been. Your argument was dunzo when you were supporting the whole little Dark Knight is the best movie of the decade, you obviously don't know anything about film. Inception is good I never said otherwise, just not great.

[roly1991]

[roly1991]

@normansmother1 Its not that it's a satire that those things are intertwined but the satire of those things being intertwined. Everything I mentioned was created through irony and how all those things would have been built upon by a completely different things just a decade ago.

[AStopMotionChannel]

Why does my gaydar go off a little bit around David Fincher? And to all of you homophobic maniacs who think I'm trying to insult the guy, I love David Fincher. He's brilliant. And I have nothing against gay people whatsoever. It's just a curious thing...

[jdkjkjdkjdks]

0:00 lol what was that all about

[IceBloose]

Very very deserving. He was robbed at the Oscars. 

[ThisIsRaynor]

Great director but kinda bad speech. It's kinda rude to read right off the thing. Even if he wasn't expecting it.

[robaquarian]

david fincher is the man but this year dont think he deserved it. other directors were better.

[Plowdal1342431]

Jimmy Fallon would play an AWESOME, AWESOME Joker in a future Batman film(s).

[EliraSTAR1]

i love david fincher. i dont care what anyone says about him being a perfectionist (99 takes).

all geniuses are.

i hope he wins best director cos he is the best. hes an amazing filmmaker.

[robaquarian]

@EliraSTAR1 he is too bad he did social network though, waste of his talent

[roly1991]

Chris Nolan winning? what a joke. Of course it was a travesty that he got snubbed at the Oscars for the Coen's but the Social Network is film about our generation, a film that Fincher was working with kids, not actors like Leo. Inception was masterfully made and beiutiful to look at but as far as direction went, Nolan didn't make the movie, it was the actors and editing that really did it.

[zachedwards92]

@roly1991 But Nolan wrote it....

[roly1991]

@zachedwards92 What does that have to do with him directing Inception better than Finicher in the Social Network? If anything it should have made his job easier and produced a better film which in all cases didn't. When I said "Nolan didn't make the movie" I was speaking in terms of "he as a director didn't make the film the greatest it could have been, it was a combination of his actors, script, editors, etc." While Fincher's direction made the film work more than any other factor in it.

[Jort007]

@roly1991 It was Nolan's idea, he came up with an amazing story and universe, Fincher did not even have to think about that. I just Nolan deserves an oscar/golden globe whatever, because he has made a LOT of really amazing movies.

[roly1991]

@Jort007 Again this was about best DIRECTOR not writer. Fincher got snubbed.

[butt01]

@roly1991 How can you say that? Nolan literally pulled this story about dreams out of his head. And because it was his imagination, he guided the cast troughout the whole shooting. I personnally think that Inception was his best work as a director. He's probably the most creative and the most complete director nowadays.

Facebook defining our generation... So sad to read that. I'll advise all of you to read a letter that Gordon-Levitt wrote to Peter Travers. Google it.

[roly1991]

@butt01 You obviously haven't seen the social network, it had little to do with facebook, it was just what guided the plot not what the film was about. Nolan made a action film about dreams while Fincher a story about a guy who made a program, which would be harder to make enjoyable?

Again directing is different from writing, Nolan's film was beautifully made, but you can't give Nolan the credit for the cast's hard work . Fincher's film was far superior as far as a whole and much more creative.

[butt01]

@roly1991 I saw the social network and I'm not disagreeing with the fact that Fincher deserved the GG. But explain me how this film defines our generation because betrayal, greed, power... is so common to the human being.

And saying Inception is an action film about dreams is as much condescending as saying Social Network is about Facebook.

[roly1991]

@butt01 It's about the loss of privacy, the use of another medium to express emotion. The satire that technology, betrayal, greed, and power can so easily be intertwined, as well as the humanity loss that goes on through screens and education. How easy it is to fake and display emotion through social means like clubs and most how power isn't as defined as it was even a century ago

also how is it condescending? half of inception was about explaining the dream realm and action scenes in general.

[regulator619]

@roly1991 Wow. you really don't understand his pint do you? Half of the movie was about explaining? No, it grounded a wonderful world. A world much more interesting than Avatar. The movie was able to be a puzzle that was still fresh after 4 viewings. It explored the sub-conscious, guilt, and gave a new twist to the generic love story. It was able to handle and intertwine 4-layers of dream simultaneously while increasing the tension that created. So suffice to say, It was more than an action film

[roly1991]

@regulator619 Yeah the writing was sublime something Avatar can't compare to, regardless that still doesn't merit best director. Nothing in your comment proves otherwise.

[regulator619]

@roly1991 The comment limit is only 500 words. Nolan was able to deliver on something that can't be juggled by any other director. Atleast, any director that has ever made a film. I'll get striaght to the point. Can you give me a reason that every year DGA nominates Nolan, the Academy feels that they have to snub him? What makes Fincher better than Nolan. The Social Network was great, incredible even but 20 years from now No one is going to talk about TSN. Case in point:Memento vs beautiful mind

[roly1991]

@regulator619 you're saying inception will? Any director that has ever made a film? Do you seriously watch film? People like James Cameron, Paul Thomas Anderson, and even Darren Aronovsky would surely have done a better job than Nolan. The academy obviously should have nominated inception over True Grit but even Toy Story 3 was closer to the award than inception. The social network defines a generation, inception doesn't. It's pretty and creative but nothing merits it being close to a classic

[regulator619]

@roly1991 Am I saying Inception will? Definitely! Can you give me a reason not to? Im sure right baout now you're saying that Im predicting the future. Well, I am. Just like I'm saying that the sun will compe up again tommorow. Go look on imdb's top 250. This is the same situation with Memento. It got "overshadowed" (by the academy only" over Memento. What is considered to be a classic today? The Dark Knigt is hailed as one of (if not the) best films of the past decade. how does TSN come in?

[roly1991]

@regulator619 Because it doesn't compare to any classic, it doesn't even stack up to memento and the dark knight doesn't come close to being the best film of the decade. Without Ledgers amazing performance it wouldn't have even been better than the original iron man. IMDB is a joke, rotten tomatoes holds more credibility than that site these days. So far the only film that will be hailed as a classic these days is avatar and thats only for it's cinematography.

[regulator619]

@roly1991 A classic is determined by the audience right? Sure it has a little bit of critical input but come on. Avatar doesn't have a reason to be held as a classic unless you count the 3D. And yes the Dark Knight is the past film of the decade because it's a as flawless as they come. The joker could have been anyone besides Ledger, then Aaron Eckhart's incredible performance would. The Dark Knight had incredible cinematography, about a half-dozen brilliant scenes and a multi-layered script

[roly1991]

@regulator619 What're you talking about? Avatar changed film, obviously it was only for it's cinematography but nonetheless that is the only movie that was well done enough to be called a classic in the past decade. The Dark knights cinematography pales in comparison to even Alice in Wonderland, again aside from Heath the movie was above average at best. I guarantee you most people who saw the Dark Knight came out quoting the Joker, that's the only reason it's still being talked about today.

[regulator619]

@roly1991 Cinematography isn't about pretty colors. And honestly, I'm beginning to think you're either as old and deluded as Kirk Douglas, or too inexperienced to know any better. Inception is a ground-breaking film and won the best Cinematography award this year. It is groundbreaking in its editing as well as its narative. The Dark was not only about heath, his performance just overshadowed anyone else's. Aaron Eckhart was wonderful as well TDK is multi-layered you just need to delve deeper.

[roly1991]

@regulator619 Eckharts performance doesn't compare to Ledgers or any other of the academy award nominees for supporting in the past decade. Avatar isn't just about pretty colors but you would have to be a complete moron to not understand that Cameron built a world on screen, The dark knight or any film ever made does not compare in terms of cinmeatography, it's that innovative. Inception was good but fails to reach the top of any aspect of film, whether it be acting or cinematography.

[Tripp393]

Fincher is such a misanthropic, self-important teenager. It's about time he grew up. Social Network is the best movie there, but that isn't saying much.

[mqhwolfen]

Christopher Nolan should have "WON" for Best Director. It's sad that they won't be nominated at the Oscars for Best Director Category. Christopher Nolan you blew me away with "Inception" GREAT GREAT WORK! My favorite Director!

[cinematograffer]

one of the best directors of our time.

the social network was filmmaking at it's finest. there was never a dull moment and it was always going full-force. fincher's ability to keep his audience engaged the full 2 hours is amazing talent and in my opinion, surpassed inception BY FAR. sure, inception was great for what it was, but by no means was it something that defined a generation like fincher did with this film.

extremely well deserved. bravo david!

[pancho314]

Fincher, Nolan and Aronofsky are probably my favourite directors in the last two decades along with Paul Thomas Anderson.

[TheCrocxxx]

@pancho314 Same Here same here. there the best.

[TheCrocxxx]

@pancho314 Same here same here.their the best

[mastermovies10000]

@pancho314 and tarantino :p

[godfatherofwiseguys]

@pancho314 yes. they are my favorites today. though i would say PTA is on top right now. he's just up there after THERE WILL BE BLOOD

[SneakyAndMean]

I like Nolan as much as anyone, but the truth is that his films and overall style of direction are more about using well-constructed set pieces to move the story briskly. Directing actors is what earns awards; that said I think the general consensus is that all 4 other films in the best picture/best director category had better acting than inception.

[at0mic1188]

that's just bullshit....it should have been Nolan or at least Aronofsky.

[silvermoonredmoon]

to all of you Nolan haters, FUCK facebook FUCK cameron FUCK avatar FUCK 3d AND FUCK YOU TOO!!!!

[jigsawth]

This was between Aronofsky and Fincher

[jigsawth]

Nolan is a great director, but he didn`t beat Social Network with Inception

[MultiMapas]

@jigsawth Social Network... is not original.

[Mecomotusdientes]

Actually, for me is the best director of the moment.

Fincher is a visionary

[lotr450]

Nolan should have wom

[mrvillain88]

@lotr450 i agree wit u n im suprised he didnt win!!!

[TheChromanoise]

@lotr450 Go to the sewers of Nolan's neighberhood to eat his crap fandrone Nolanite.

[lotr450]

@TheChromanoise Inception surpassed Social Network (movie about facebook) in every fuckin way!

[MultiMapas]

@lotr450 I'm with you, man.

[FlyingOverTr0ut]

Greatest director of all time.

[LightFincher]

Well deserved.

[TheOneThatFlewOver]

I love that man.

[Jhereko]

definitely the best director from last year (except maybe Gaspar Noe)
