Every awards season the Hollywood Reporter does these series of artist roundtable talks.  In the past, some of these have been very goofy or awkward, but for whatever reason this directors set turned out to be very illuminating and honest.

Steve  McQueen (12 Years a Slave), Paul  Greengrass (Captain Phillips), David  O. Russell (American Hustle), Ben  Stiller (The Secret Life of Walter Mitty), Alfonso  Cuaron (Gravity) and Lee  Daniels (The Butler) join THR’s Matt Belloni and Stephen Galloway to discuss their movies.
