Skandies Directors' Gallery

Named marked with an asterisk are new additions, meaning those directors had a fifth Skandie-eligible feature released in 2025. Also, for the record, PTA has a 3.166 vs. Tarantino's 3.165, so he's genuinely in first place, not just first alphabetically when rounded (as is the case with everyone else; I can't be bothered except for #1).
