Mel Gibson receives a strong score of 80. And now for 1994's winner, Robert Zemeckis for Forrest Gump
How would you rate this achievement from 0 to 10?

I suppose a 5/10 is fair.

8.
A tonal tightrope that he navigates pretty effortlessly.

4/10. Outside the trick editing (which is kind of a separate category) don't see what's exceptional about this.

Missed the last few rounds and frankly I hated them all.
4. I don't remember this film having much direction.

9. It would be very easy for such a cornball concept to come off completely farcical, and... Well, assuming you think it works, which I do, I think he deserves all the credit for how much he grounds it, how much it all pops, and how smooth it goes down.

Forrest Gump is a hard, hard movie to make work. Hanks gets a lot of the credit for his performance (and deservedly so), but this movie lives and dies by the directorial choices of Zemeckis, and he rises to the task superbly.

I will say I rate Zemeckis a little lower than I do Hanks because I feel that Zemeckis kind of overdoes it a bit with the gimmicks. The John Lennon scene in particular I find to be annoying. Had he resisted those indulgent tendencies a bit more and shown some restraint, the direction would shoot up more in my estimation.

8.5/10
To me the most impressive thing is his control of tone, especially the fact that he manages to make it funny without being condescending. And as a fan of sentimentality done right, I commend him for, well, doing it right. And then there are the technical experiments too which are quite impressive. I hope Here brings this Robert Zemeckis, who was once interested in innovations, back.
