Someone mentioned this is the Golden Globes thread..

Meaning...what does it say about you when you win Best Screenplay

but NOT best Director..or best picture?

We can go off the Golden Globes right now. He lost both to Affleck.

If he wins Best Screenplay at the Oscars and loses Best Picture (not even nominated for Best Director)

Is this a sign that ultimately....Tarantino should just stick to writing?

Obviously I think no...But even I think he should have won Best Screenplay over The Hurt Locker in 09.....But I didnt think Inglorious Basterds was the "Best Picture"

Its one thing when a guy is just a writer and then a director takes their work and creates their own vision.

But for Tarantino....Its almost like he creates a great script....but doesnt fulfill its potential in some people's eyes when the movie is complete.

Lets look at Tarantino's last two movies. Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained. If Tarantino let other great directors...direct those movies instead of him....

Would it have been better? Or much better?

Darren Aronofsky or PTA or Spielberg or even Affleck directing those movies.....Is it better?

Or does a Tarantino movie can only be directed by Tarantino

(Yes I know True Romance was directed by Tony Scott...but some people still feel it would have been better or perhaps worse if Tarantino directed it instead)

I think you're thinking way too deeply right now.

These folks are just voting on these things 1-by-1, individually, not attaching any deeper meaning to what it may mean if someone wins for screenplay and not director or vice versa, etc

Why are you surprised?

There was this little school shooting thingy. Tarantino did not have a chance in hell.

Maybe it means that he had the best screenplay?

Tarantino's experience with Natural Born Killers pretty much soured him on the idea of giving up control of his work to another director. Robert Rodriguez directed From Dusk Til Dawn but they're friends and I'm guessing Tarantino basically co-directed it.

More times than not best picture also gets best director. Django was not winning best picture.

Havent seen Django yet.

But I will say, without a doubt, Basterds would not have been nearly as good without Tarantino directing.
