The idea of this poll is to take the BP winner of each year and reimagine them with the best director nominees of that year, and ask which director would make the best version of that film. If the BP winner was nominated in directing, that option will not be listed.

So our choices for Moonlight are...

Damien Chazelle
Mel Gibson
Kenneth Lonergan
Denis Villeneuve

Previous winners:
2022: Ruben Östlund's Everything Everywhere All at Once
2021: Ryusuke Hamaguchi's CODA
2020: Lee Isaac Chung's Nomadland
2019: Martin Scorsese's Parasite
2018: Spike Lee's Green Book
2017: Jordan Peele's The Shape of Water

I'm going with Villeneuve, he'd make something quite touching.

Chazelle - The three stages of life as a jazz musician.

Lonergan - Every scene of Chiron and his mother keeps getting interrupted by the same passerby yelling "great parenting".

Villeneuve - Actually in Incendes mode could work.

...I think I'll let Gibson be.
