Category of film award
TheAcademy Award for Best Director (officially known as theAcademy Award of Merit for Directing ) is an award presented annually by theAcademy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). It is given in honor of afilm director who has exhibited outstanding directing while working in thefilm industry .
The1st Academy Awards ceremony was held in 1929 with the award being split into "Dramatic" and "Comedy" categories;Frank Borzage andLewis Milestone won for7th Heaven andTwo Arabian Knights , respectively.[ 1] However, these categories were merged for all subsequent ceremonies.[ 2] Nominees are determined bysingle transferable vote within the directors branch of AMPAS; winners are selected by aplurality vote from the entire eligible voting members of the academy.[ 3] [ 4] [ 5]
For the first eleven years of the Academy Awards, directors were allowed to be nominated for multiple films in the same year. However, after the nomination ofMichael Curtiz for two films,Angels with Dirty Faces andFour Daughters , at the11th Academy Awards , the rules were revised so that an individual could only be nominated for one film at each ceremony.[ 6] That rule has since been amended, although the only director who has received multiple nominations in the same year wasSteven Soderbergh forErin Brockovich andTraffic in2000 , winning the award for the latter.
The Academy Awards for Best Director andBest Picture have been very closely linked throughout their history. Of the 91 films that won Best Picture and were also nominated for Best Director, 70 won the award.[ 7] [ 8] The award has been criticised in recent years for failing to recognise female directors.[ 9] Of the 257 individual directors nominated in the history of the award, only 9 have been women;[ 10] and only 3 of the 76 winners have been women.[ 11]
Since its inception, the award has been given to 74 different directors or directing teams. As of the97th Academy Awards ceremony, American filmmakerSean Baker is the most recent winner in this category for his work onAnora .
Winners and nominees [ edit ] In the following table, the years are listed as per Academy convention, and generally correspond to the year of film release inLos Angeles County ,California ; the ceremonies are always held the following year.[ 12] For the first five ceremonies, the eligibility period spanned twelve months from August 1 to July 31.[ 13] For the 6th ceremony held in 1934, the eligibility period lasted from August 1, 1932, to December 31, 1933.[ 13] Since the7th ceremony held in 1935, the period of eligibility became the full previous calendar year from January 1 to December 31.[ 13]

Multiple wins and nominations [ edit ] Three or more nominations [ edit ] John Ford has received the most awards in this category, with four.Frank Capra andWilliam Wyler won three each.Four directors have won twice for films that did not winBest Picture :Frank Borzage ,George Stevens ,Ang Lee , andAlfonso Cuarón . Four directing teams have been nominated together (a total of five times, winning on three occasions):Robert Wise andJerome Robbins forWest Side Story (1961, winners);Warren Beatty andBuck Henry forHeaven Can Wait (1978);Joel and Ethan Coen forNo Country for Old Men (2007, winners) andTrue Grit (2010); andDaniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert forEverything Everywhere All at Once (2022, winners).The Coen Brothers are the only siblings to have won the award. Six directors won the award for their feature film debut:Delbert Mann forMarty (1955), Jerome Robbins forWest Side Story (1961),Robert Redford forOrdinary People (1980),James L. Brooks forTerms of Endearment (1983),Kevin Costner forDances With Wolves (1990), andSam Mendes forAmerican Beauty (1999).Robbins is the only director to have won for his only career directing credit. Lina Wertmüller was the first woman nominated in the category, forSeven Beauties (1976).John Singleton is the first Black (and youngest) nominee forBoyz n the Hood (1991).David Lean was the first non-American to win—and twice, forThe Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) andLawrence of Arabia (1962). This did not recur for five decades with any other non-American directors, until Ang Lee, Alfonso Cuarón, and Alejandro González Iñárritu each won twice themselves.Lee was the first Asian director to win the award, forBrokeback Mountain (2005). He won again forLife of Pi (2012). Cuarón was the first Mexican (and Latin American) director to win the award, forGravity (2013). He won again forRoma (2018). ^ The Circus originally received a nomination for Best Director (Comedy Picture), as well as nominations for Best Actor and Best Writing (Original Story), all forCharlie Chaplin . However, theAcademy subsequently decided to remove Chaplin's name from the competitive award categories and instead to confer upon him aSpecial Award "for acting, writing, directing and producingThe Circus ".^a b c The 2nd Academy Awards is the only ceremony for which there were no official nominees. Subsequent research by AMPAS has resulted in a list of unofficial orde facto nominees, based on records of which films were evaluated by the judges. While Frank Lloyd won forThe Divine Lady , his other two nominated films are considered to be a single combined nomination. ^a b According to the Oscars.org database, Brown's directing nomination counts as one singular, joint, cumulative nomination for two films. This same recognition was applicable to all nominees, such as toGreta Garbo 's acting nominations from the same respective films; as well as acting winners,Norma Shearer andGeorge Arliss . No explanation was given for why the latter two were nominated with two films, yet only awarded for one each. ^a b Michael Curtiz was not on the original ballot of nominees. However, after the year prior withBette Davis 's omission forOf Human Bondage , the resulting furor led to a write-in campaign determined to secure her a nomination. Thus, the Academy relaxed their rules and allowed her performance to be amongst the competition. They permitted this once more, prompting further submissions: Curtiz;Paul Muni forBlack Fury ; and several other categories, includingHal Mohr forA Midsummer Night's Dream . Ultimately, Mohr became the only person to win an Oscar as a result of this process. The Academy discontinued this option from the next ceremony forward to prevent any recurrence. ^ The eligibility period for the 93rd ceremony was extended through to February 28, 2021, due to the impact of theCOVID-19 pandemic . ^a b Wise earned two individual nominations (resulting in one win); and one joint nomination withJerome Robbins , which also resulted in the pair of them winning. ^ While theCoen Brothers , as a directing duo, earned two nominations, their work onFargo was credited as being split apart: Ethan was givensole producer credit , while Joel was listed as the sole director. Joel thus has one additional directing nomination combined with his work as part of their dual efforts. ^ Dirks, Tim."1927–28 Academy Awards Winners" .Rainbow Media .Archived from the original on July 24, 2010.
