In Cineole they have made a Article in which analyzed what are the 10 modern directors (those born starting from the 60) that should have been already an Oscar and have not succeeded. And David Lynch is one of them.
Of the things he says about the American director, This is one of the things that I liked:
Not only has a very particular and unique vision that endows him with interest, but he managed to potentially indecipherable movies to grab among public and critics, which is not easy. Under normal circumstances, this man wouldn't be here.
Displaying the humor that often have on the page, the only point against for bringing the Oscar is that, literally, “He's crazy”.
David Lynch had his big chance of winning the prize of the Academy in 1980, with the elephant man, that he received 8 nominations, but it was vacuum that night. 20 years later he returned to be nominated by Mulholland Drive, but neither got it. And unfortunately has painted that if you get it one day, will be for his entire career.
In the same list of Directors we see people of the stature of Terrence Malick, Sidney Lumet, Ridley Scott, David Fincher or Quentin Tarantino. Take a look because it is quite interesting.
And for you, What Directors would be in your list?
