With the 86th
Annual Academy Awards ceremony occurring last Sunday, March 2, Hollywood has
been buzzing about those who won, the outstanding talent that was on
display, and the exciting things that these filmmakers will go on to do. That

truly are a politics game. I recently stumbled upon a post on one of my
favorite sources for news in the film world (IndieWire) entitled “20 Celebrated Filmmakers Who Never Won A BestDirecting Oscar.” Being one with a great love of both film and the Oscars, this
caught my attention.
