Quentin Tarantino has two Oscars, though they’re both for screenwriting on his brilliant efforts, Pulp Fiction and Django Unchained.
There are a number of outstanding film directors who never have been recognized by the Academy for their efforts.
But the rest of his Oscar nominations remained just that – nominations – and never turned into wins.
Alfred Hitchcock stands out at the top of that heap, but he’s joined by the likes of Sir Ridley Scott, David Lynch, Michael Mann and David Fincher, to name just a few.
