Christopher Nolan is the kind of director who chooses the genre on the quantum.
His films are few but all are fantastic.
Nolan writes his own films in collaboration with his brother Jonathan Nolan, author of the series Westworld and the series Person of Interest.
Christopher Nolan's films take you out of the ordinary and always deal with a new angle that we have never known before.
Most of his films are innovative ideas, fantastic exteriors, and a neat arrangement of events.
Nolan has been nominated for the Academy Award four times before this year and has not won it before, all on writing and not on directing.
His nomination for the Academy Award for Best Director on Dunkirk is his first nomination for directing!
The list of directors who will compete for Nolan this year is:
Gordon Bailey on Get Out
Greta Groig on Lady Bird
Paul Thomas Anderson on the Phantom thread and Guillermo Deltore on The Shape of Water 
Is he the director of the movie Batman?
