The Suite Life of Jack and Wendy (wins), Thursday, 9 November 2017 18:10 (eight years ago)

I don't either, but I'm pretty sure that I won't find room on my ballot for him above the many directors who managed at least two great films.

Me neither but it's a good nomination, people might want to vote for him. Pretty sure a lot of people consider harper lee one of the greatest novelists too
