Who do you think should win?
The Verdict Director's Cut
Not many directors can pull off a time-bending space odyssey and a Victorian magician thriller and have both counted among their best work. The Prestige is probably the cleverer film of the two. However, when they face each other in a bracket voters favor the epic-yet-emotional Interstellar over The Prestige. The one constant in both is Michael Caine (making roughly his 4,000th appearance in a Nolan film), on trusty-advisor duty, explaining how magic tricks work in one and reading Dylan Thomas poems in the other.
