Best Director of a 2003 Film

Nominees for the Fourth Annual Cosmique Movie Awards

The Best Director candidates are not selected by nominations from Cosmo voters. Instead, they are selected through a formula that considers their nominations and wins at the major movie awards (Golden Globes, BAFTAs, Directors Guild of America, and the Oscars) as well as the number of nominations their film received at the Cosmos, with extra weight given to a Best Picture Cosmo nominee.
