This is a complete list of notable Hollywood movies (and a few others) which won the Academy Award (Oscar) for Best Director, as well as the other movies which were nominated for the award. A couple of points of note:

  • This is not a comprehensive list of every award winner or nominee, because I did not consider some movies worthy of inclusion. (A complete list of Best Director winners and nominees can be found here.)
  • The award or nomination is generally given to movies released in the year immediately preceding the year of the award ceremony.

Note that the list below is sortable by each column. (Multiple levels of sorting are possible by sorting more than one column in succession, from lowest to highest.)
