With the evolution of technology and the universalization of the internet, western culture proliferated its influence to all parts of the world. And Hollywood movies have gained exponential viewership with this development. Filmography has wiped off all the man-made barriers.

Filmography definitely matters; but the more imperative parameters which we need to evaluate through this list are - Has the director done justice to his/her film? Were his/her movies received well by the critics? And does he/she have the skill to improve the horizon further?

Direction is the most important aspect in a film-making process. A director is the person who visualizes and chalks out the entire project. Right from the rolling of camera to the time of release of the movie, directors shoulder the responsibilities of how a movie turns out to be as an end product.

Every director possesses a different and unique skill set to narrate a particular story. Some of them like to stick to a certain genre while others try to capture different subjects through their movies. But at the end of the day it is the way how a story is told that matters the most.

And with the year-end contest continuing pace, check out our list of Hollywood directors, and let us know who you think is the best in 2016 by casting your vote for the best Hollywood directors in 2016.

BARRY JENKINS (Moonlight)

Film: Moonlight

Through Moonlight, director Barry Jenkins has crafted a novelistic movie about the personal metamorphosis and reinvention. Beyond the story of a black boy growing up poor and gay, there is much to the story in the form of melancholy and exhilaration all in equal doses.

DAMIEN CHAZELLE (La La Land)

Film : La La Land

Damien Sayre Chazelle's La La Land harps on the paradox of Hollywood dreams and the struggling reality of making career in art. The movie opens up as twinkly fantasy derived form a sophisticated innocence. That apart, it is also one bold big-screen musical attempts in a long time.

DENZEL WASHINGTON (Fences)

Film: Fences

Denzel Washington, helming his third movie as the director has done enough justice to the August Wilson play. But beyond the extent of its widescreen escapism and the most immersible cinematography, this film is marked for its magnificent and immaculate acting performances.

KENNETH LONERGAN (Manchester By the Sea)

Film : Manchester By the Sea

Manchester By The Sea by director Kenneth Lonergan, is one finely constructed depiction, rather a study on the aspect of individual misery faced by the characters which is set against the backdrop of care and affection.

Director Kenneth Lonergan has tried to deal with human ideological and sentimental values with this movie.

MARTIN SCORSESE (Silence)

Film : Silence

Martin Scorsese has probably waited his whole life to helm a movie portraying saga of martyrdom along with Judas-like betrayal with his movie, Silence. This movie is impressive not only for its depiction of story, but the style in which it has been narrated.

This movie deals with absurdities and contradictions of faith in broader aspects.
