Is Steven Soderbergh the new Hitchcock? Consider for yourself.(The Orlando Sentinel)
Don't get your Stevens mixed up.
The man that Oscar's been buzzing about is Steven Soderbergh, not Steven Spielberg.
In case you haven't heard the buzz, Soderbergh is the 38-year-old native of Baton Rouge, La., who directed not just one but two of the best and most celebrated films of 2000: "Erin Brockovich," the crusading-legal-assistant blockbuster, and "Traffic," the war-on-drugs epic.
Together, those films took three Golden Globes last Sunday, having already snagged a bunch of other awards. Soderbergh himself was nominated twice Monday as best director by the Directors Guild of America _ only the second time that's ever happened and the first since 1974, when Francis Ford Coppola was nominated for both "The Godfather: Part II" and "The Conversation."
Even the other Steven might envy that coup.
Movie-centrics may recall that Soderbergh first hit the scene in 1989, when his directorial debut _ a little indie flick called "sex, lies, and videotape" _ scored the grand prize at Cannes and went on to earn nearly $25 million domestically on a $1.2 million investment.
Immediately after that phenomenal success, the suddenly white-hot young filmmaker took a sharp left turn and directed five rather obscure motion pictures in a row.
