6. Quentin Tarantino, ‘The Hateful Eight’
Another personal preference, here, because obviously Tarantino is one filmmaker who has already received his share of accolades. He’s won two Academy Awards, both for writing (Django Unchained, Pulp Fiction), but his second Western in a row, The Hateful Eight, saw the auteur come up empty-handed. On paper, nothing about the film should work. It’s cowboys and their ilk hanging out in a blizzard for three hours (sort of); there is no way that should work, and yet it does. And it’s glorious.
