Director James Gunn unhappy that Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director went to two different filmsAuthor : AZIndia News Desk
Mar 1(AZINS) Filmmaker James Gunn has expressed his displeasure over the best picture win of journalism drama Spotlight at the 88th Academy Awards.
Shortly after the winner of the coveted prize was announced at the ceremony, the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 filmmaker took to Twitter to express his feeling about the results of the awards show.
His post prompted responses from other users. Sela Shiloni commented, "The Revenant was an incredible achievement in directing. After it got through editing, though, not the greatest movie...." Gunn wrote back, "The director also directs the editor. That is what a director does. And THAT is the misunderstanding."
Gunn later clarified why he had made the comments.
