With the exception of the sleeping Hitchcock, Allen is the only director not really looking at the screen. If I'm not mistaken, Allen doesn't like to watch his final products, and so he seems more concerned here about how others are reacting to it, assuming he thinks it's going to be his film that's screened.
Besides Allen, Kubrick, and Hitchcock (and Burton and Tarantino), I'm not all that aware of films while being consciously aware of their directors. Much of this I think has to do with being relatively unfamiliar with film. There is much I haven't seen, and with some directors here, I haven't seen any of their work at all.
