Our Pick: Frozen
Although not one of our favorite Disney animated films, we can’t deny how what a presence this film makes. Plus who could resist Olaf, the sun-loving snowman.

Philippe Le Sourd
- Gravity
Emmanuel Lubezki
- Inside Llewyn Davis

For a film to be set mostly in outer space, Gravity is visually stunning.

- 12 Years a Slave
Patricia Norris
Our Pick: The Great Gatsby
Although it a was a close tie with 12 Years a Slave, we couldn’t resist the roaring 1920s in The Great Gatsby. The costumes were absolutely gorgeous.
Best DIRECTING

Alfonso Cuarón | Gravity
Alexander Payne | Nebraska
Steve McQueen | 12 Years a Slave
Martin Scorsese | The Wolf of Wall Street
