Best Director

David Fincher

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Filmmaker David Fincher is known for his dark, haunting films—will any of us ever be able to forget the final scene in his 1995 hit Se7en?—but he got his start producing some of the most spirited and entertaining music videos of the '90s.

David's streak of winning flicks with Brad Pitt—including Se7en and Fight Club —continues with The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The movie tells the story of a man who ages in reverse and has been delighting audiences with its romantic reflections on both life and death.

This is David's first nomination.
