Watch: THR Directors Roundtable for 2022 feat. Polley and Iñarritu

"A few years ago I realized there were a number of movies you were going to do. It made me very protective of how that time went." It's awards season, which means everyone's pushing their favorites in hopes they'll end up with nominations. The Hollywood Reporter has kicked off its annual Directors' Roundtable - including the full hour-long video of the conversations between these six filmmakers. It's always hugely entertaining and very informative to watch these videos, listen to them riff on the industry and offer advice from their own filmmaking experiences. I'm glad they're still making them! The list of this year's top directors of 2022 is: Alejandro González Iñárritu, Gina Prince-Bythewood, JD Dillard, Joseph Kosinski, Sarah Polley and Todd Field. There's no need for an introduction anymore, it's best to dive in and start watching. The full video is below, and THR has also released a selection of quotes. I'm a fan of all six of these directors and can't wait to hear all of them anyway.

This THR director's roundtable is part of their regular awards season coverage, letting the top contenders get some time in the spotlight. They are often more enlightening and insightful than regular interviews. The 2022 Roundtable features these filmmakers: Alejandro González Iñárritu - director of Bardo: A False Chronicle of A Handful of Truths, Gina Prince-Bythewood - director of The Woman King, JD Dillard - director of Devotion, Joseph Kosinski - director of Top Gun: Maverick, Sarah Polley - director of Women Talking, and Todd Field - director of TAR. The full conversation was moderated by writer Rebecca Keegan - you can follow her @ThatRebecca. There's always a lot of debate about who they choose and why these directors (timing/availability aside) but in all honesty – I think they've still found six of my top picks from 2022. I I don't think Babylon is good enough this year, nor do I think Avatar: The Way of the Water deserves any awards (although it < em>is spectacular). Who are your favorite directors of 2022?
