Greta Gerwig was a committed Lady Bird director, Christopher Nolan got suitably windswept for Dunkirk, and Ridley Scott certainly didn't hold back on the set of All the Money in the World — just look at the picture evidence. While we place our bets on the leading actors of award season, spare some time to truly appreciate the directors, cinematographers, and crew behind the films, too.
