BEST DIRECTOR
Presented by Sony

Jameson Empire Awards 2010 Winners | Best Director | Edgar Wright
Best Director winner Edgar Wright for Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

Edgar Wright (Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World)
"The genius of the film is that Wright's style, and the work with his editors Jonathan Amos and Paul Machliss, somehow allows the slacker, 90s characters and the bananas action to hang together. The cuts flow seamlessly from crummy apartment to scummy nightclub to wire-fu, airborne extravaganza, punctuated with blocks of comic book text and onomatopoeias straight out of the Adam West Batman series. The result is closer to Spaced with a few extra zeroes on the budget than Hot Fuzz or Shaun; Wright's filmmaking feeling perversely smoother and more relaxed than it did on either of those outings." Read Empire's Scott Pilgrim review.
