Aaaaand we're back, with the second half of Round One ballots. Going over today's polls, I'm realizing that there are a few weak choices here, and at least one match-up that's going to make me sob openly when I have to vote on it, but c'est la vie. Since it's a new week, I'll copy and paste the rules and disclaimers from Day One for those just tuning in:
1) For each pairing, choose the director you prefer, using whatever criteria you see fit. Be aware that you are voting strictly on the basis of directorial skill, and not on talent in acting, writing or other fields that the candidates might be involved in. The winner of each pairing will advance to round 2.
2) If any names are unfamiliar or if you need a reminder of what anyone has directed in the past, clicking on any name will open that director's IMDb page in a new window.
3) The list of names is totally arbitrary (I likely forgot a few, although I endeavored to at least get all the big ones and cover as many eras and genres as possible), and their placement in the brackets is completely random (i.e. the management is not responsible for pitting your two favorites against each other, so deal).
4) Important: When voting, please note that there are two separate polls, so be sure to click both "Submit" buttons. Thank you.
5) Feel free to pimp this out in your own journals, if you're so inclined. The more, the merrier.
The official deadline for voting on this poll is Tuesday, April 15 at 1 p.m. Enjoy! Voting on this round is now closed; all votes have been recorded. Thank you!
