points to directors with many popular films but is their true artistic level the highest?
Outside of "Unforgiven," I think Eastwood's output is mediocre. Scorsese hasn't had even a good film to his credit in ages, though that alone shouldn't disqualify him because of the several masterstrokes.
It appears that the critics seem to want to educate as well as nominate: the chosen perhaps purposefully exclude the commonly known?
