"Steve Jobs" is not your traditional biopic but instead an operatic "backstage" look at the life of man well-known for his work in front of the proscenium. Those looking for "historical accuracy" might as well turn to the languid "cradle to grave" "Jobs" which stars Ashton Kutcher. This film however, in its pace, its inventiveness and dynamism, is far more true to the spirit of one of the most exciting geniuses of our time.
The Academy Award race is looking to be one of the most competitive years as many of the best directors in the industry are releasing films. Some of the films are by new helmers, other by Oscar winners and other by veteran directors, who have not been nominated in a long time. However, there are some directors who have not been nominated in years and who could be back in the awards race.
