Todd Phillips Facts

1. He bagged the prestigious Golden Globe Award in 2009 for “Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy” for his blockbuster The Hangover.
2. Todd had directed actor to an Oscar win for his performance in Joker.
3. He had to convince the Warner Bros. executives twice to make Joker as when he had pitched his idea for the film to them, they had loved it and he had gone away and written the script. However, when it was completed, most of the executives had been replaced and so he had to put across his vision all over again, to a new set of people on board, and he had to convince them to allow it to be made. Phillips has recalled that it was a year-long process from the completion of the script to again explaining his concept to a new team and that he had faced many hurdles that he had to overcome.
