“At first, sitting down to write a page of prose, I used to feel this dizzying sense of possibility. It was as though, after 20 years of being trained to run around a greyhound track, I'd been released for a scamper out of the back of a van into the Russian steppe. You look back, quizzically, as if to say: 'What, I can go anywhere?'”

    ARMANDO IANNUCCI United Kingdom, 2009

    Best known for creating The Thick of It and Veep, Iannucci fashions a semi-spin-off of the former in the Academy Award®-nominated In the Loop. A scathing satire of contemporary politics, and a perfect acting showcase for Capaldi—reviving his role as the brilliantly belligerent Malcolm Tucker.
