Thompson predicts Miller to win Best Director at the Oscars!

Prestiged Oscar predictor Anne Thompson thinks that even nail bitter finish, George Miller will win "Best Director" at the Oscars 

"Launched at Cannes, Miller's fourth "Mad Max" action adventure "Fury Road" (Warner Bros., May 15) was praised by critics — who included it in year-end ten-best lists and awards — and is so well-made that it rose above the fray despite its genre pedigree. Academy voters, who gave "Fury Road" 10 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director, should reward Miller the way they did such large-scale past triumphs as Ang Lee's "Life of Pi" and Alfonso Cuaron's "Gravity." It's about recognizing the nuts and bolts of the craft of fashioning cinema spectacle that makes your eyes pop. "

We'll see a black & white version of Mad Max Fury Road according Miller

Miller told LA Times : " Not in cinemas. The best version of "Road Warrior" was what we called a "slash dupe," a cheap, black-and-white version of the movie for the composer. Something about it seemed more authentic and elemental. So I asked Eric Whipp, the ["Fury Road"] colorist, "Can I see some scenes in black and white with quite a bit of contrast?" They looked great. So I said to the guys at Warners, "Can we put a black-and-white version on the DVD?" There wasn't enough room. [It'll end up] on another version with commentary and other features."

 

The whole interview with LA Times is very interesting
