Alternate Universe Oscars #28: Braveheart CLOSED

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 Braveheart are...

Mike Figgis
Chris Noonan
Michael Radford
Tim Robbins
