I like to make all your lives easier so thought I would break down my own Film Honors featuring the films of Tim Burton in at-a-glance form. As you’ll discover, an abundance of mentions for many of his films given the technical flair Burton is renowned for, but no win for Directing or Motion Picture – with Batman winning a record 5 without either of those. Take a look if this is your thing:
