Why he might be annoying:

    People may spell his first name without an 'H.'
    He looks like a frat boy.
    Some critics were upset that he beat out favorites such as Ben Affleck, Kathryn Bigelow, Tom Hooper, and Quentin Tarantino for a Best Directing Oscar nomination in 2013.
    He sometimes sports hair that makes him appear as if he just woke up from bed.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His interest in filmmaking began as early as age six when he made a series of Batman short films with a friend.
    He confounded an independent film production company Court 13 in New Orleans.
    One of his influences is the late John Cassavetes.
    He said, 'I've never had a strategy. It's never been about I'm going to make this film, and then another. It was about telling stories about, and living with, the people I want to spend time with.'
