I should have been placing bets on this one.  It's not often you find a sure thing that's quite this sure.

One of the best directors working today...he deserves it  (Also my personal fav )

[Vile5]

Ok, Polanski made something beautiful with The Pianist, i think he would be my second place, because i agree with XIXAX PTA was the best, well he must be one of the best filmmakers of these years, i can't wait for his next work!

[The Idiot]

I think Polanski's vision of the Holocaust was brilliant. Understated, minimalist, and sublimely poignant. He is my first choice, followed closely by PTA of course.

[Spike]

Yeah! P.T. Anderson forever! He really deserved it.
On my second place there would be Spike Jonze. "Adaptation" is really great, too.
