We're starting a series on movie directors. Most are not as well known as actors but many will be known to you... at least their names. Movies are said to be a director's medium. You usually do not see them on screen but they're right there in the midst of most scenes. (There are second-unit directors who go off and film scenes usually not involving actors.) The director is essential to the overall artistic vision of the film. He is the one who guides the actors and the crew; some do it with a strong hand, others more loosely. The director decides how the film will look. Once it is completed, he is involved in post-production work. Whether you like or dislike a film, it is chiefly due to the director. Let's get you acquainted with some of them.

Rant
The only thing that is truly fun about the Golden Globes is gawking at the glittering folks. (The awards themselves are never to be taken seriously.) This fun includes the red carpet, watching the table-hopping before commercials and seeing who are paired up as presenters.
