Gary Gray (Outstanding Directing in a Motion Picture). During a home invasion, Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) witnesses his wife and young daughter's murder at the hands of Clarence Darby (Christian Stolte) and his accomplice Rupert Ames (Josh Stewart). Prosecutor Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx) claims that the case against Darby is weak, even with Clyde's testimony alone is insufficient to prove either suspect's guilt. A deal is made whereby Darby will give testimony sending Ames to death row in exchange for a lesser sentence. LESS
