Q

Who are Oscar’s most honored film directors?

A

William Wyler has 12 nominations for Best Director, the most for any director, and he won three times. One director has won more Oscars for directing though, and that is John Ford, winning four Oscars for directing. Ford was always well known for his Westerns, but amazingly his four directing Oscars came for films that were unlike the films we usually associate with him … can you name them? He won for directing THE INFORMER, THE GRAPES OF WRATH, HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY, and THE QUIET MAN.
