'The Master' and director Paul Thomas Anderson

It's not an easy movie, but it is a spectacular one. Instead, Paul Thomas Anderson's film was left out of the Best Motion Picture race in favor of choices like "Life of Pi," which features a breathtaking second act and laughably bad storytelling, and "Django Unchained," Quentin Tarantino's latest entertaining revenge tale that's also way too long. Obviously, Anderson should also be in the Best Director race as well.
