The Hollywood Reporter has posted another hour-long award season roundtable discussion – this time with several of the year’s biggest directors. The video includes David O. Russell (‘The Fighter’](The Fighter (2010) - Movie | Moviefone)), **Darren Aronofsky **(‘Black Swan’](Black Swan (2010) - Movie | Moviefone)), Lisa Cholodenko (‘The Kids are All Right’](http://www.moviefone.com/movie/the-kids-are-all-right/10025812/main)), Derek Cianfrance (‘Blue Valentine’](Blue Valentine (2011) - Movie | Moviefone)), Peter Weir (‘The Way Back’](The Way Back (2011) - Movie | Moviefone)) and Tom Hooper (‘The King’s Speech’](The King's Speech (2010) - Movie | Moviefone)) – and the talks cover everything from the MPAA, to bad behavior on set, to budgets and more.
Things open up with a chat about ‘Blue Valentine’s’ NC-17 rating ordeal and ‘The King’s Speech’s’ R-rating, because David Seidler’s script employed the "F’ word 17 times in a “therapeutic” context. Aronofsky pipes in to let us know that he thinks the “violence and sex thing” is totally backwards in America (amen). David O. Russell seems to attract a volatile crowd when it comes to his films, but he reveals his embarrassment and disappointment over the situation with Lily Tomlin in ‘I Heart Huckabees’](I ♥ Huckabees (2004) - Movie | Moviefone) and George Clooney in ‘Three Kings’](Three Kings (1999) - Movie | Moviefone) – stating that it was a shame one bad incident eclipsed what was otherwise a good experience for everyone. Russell then goes on to steal the show talking about George Lucas, choking kittens and everyone’s favorite … b*tches.
