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 The Artist are... (This should be interesting)

Woody Allen
Terrence Malick
Alexander Payne
Martin Scorsese

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
2016: Kenneth Lonergan's Moonlight
2015: Lenny Abrahamson's Spotlight
2014: Wes Anderson's Birdman
2013: Martin Scorsese's 12 Years a Slave
2012: Steven Spielberg's Argo

And Woody Allen's, honestly. Give me Malick's.
	Good morning, Oscar Buzz. I'm listening.

People barely talk in Malick's movies as it is so voted for him.

He's such a great visual storyteller

I think it would've definitely been a sensational piece of work.

Scorsese: We already saw it in Hugo.

Malick: Early Malick would be something remarkable, later would be whole lot rambling nonsense.

Allen: I feel we've already seen his version if you were to chop together some version of Zelig, The Purple Rose of Cairo, Stardust Memories, Shadows and Dog, Everyone Says I Love You.

Payne: Actually fits right into man's life crisis theme, so could be insightful or insufferable depending on his mood.
