Nominated over Avatar 2 for director?

This film had average direction, at best. Compare this to the master direction of James Cameron in Avatar: The Way of Water. Cameron’s directing went to new heights, while the direction here was as average as they come.

The film overall was just a snoozefest and will be forgotten soon.

This is one of the reasons the Academy is losing so many viewers.

1 oscars are total shit
2 directors do more than what you seem to imply. This film had great direction.

What new heights did Avatar reach?

Don't tell me this Avatar 2, unlike the first one, bothered to tell a story...?

Same story: white men evil. But white savior complex good.

I refuse to even see Avatar 2. I didn't like the original. It's a shame after all the great movies he did in the 80s and 90s he'd end up doing mediocre ones now. I haven't seen this movie though. And I probably never will. Prefer older dramas.

This movie is for grownups. "Avatar: blah blah blah" is a silly CGI comic book fantasy.

So i didnt watch the new avatar, is it yet another lift of disney movie but in space, riddled with logical holes and stupid characters, like the first one?
