>What if a film had great direction, but terrible set design or art direction? Then the film didn't have great direction. It's impossible to seperate the two. Every director works differently, but the entire film is the director's responsibility. He's the one big picture person on the project. In the late 20s when the academy was invented, through, the producer was the creative head of the picture, and the director's award made more sense.
