EW’s 25 Greatest Working Directors

Every year, EW unleashes their list of 25 greatest active directors and they’ve unleashed another one this year, head OVER THERE if you wanna check out their analysis and explanation for each pick but thanks to Firstshowing, you can just check out the complete list, after this jump. Holding the number one spot is none other than David Fincher who is a favorite to win Oscar this Sunday for The Social Network, but I don’t necessarily see that as a guarantee, Tom Hooper may not be on this list but he won DGA this year. It’s still anybody’s game…
