3. Ryan Coogler For Creed
It’s not every day that somebody can just walk up to Sylvester Stallone and ask if they can add an entry to the Rocky franchise. That’s what Ryan Coogler did, and Marvel was smart to snatch him up for Black Panther after that opening weekend. The seventh film in a franchise wound up being one of the year’s best (besides The Force Awakens of course). The movie has genuine emotion and the boxing sequences are filmed in an extremely engaging way. Everything was on point, and after already writing and directing another Oscar worthy film, Fruitvale Station, a nomination for Best Director would have been appropriate.
