Many great directors don’t yet have an Oscar.
Summary Christopher Nolan is now an Oscar-winner, but there are plenty of great directors still working today who must continue to wait for their recognition from the Academy. Nolan was previously nominated for Dunkirk, but he can consider himself unlucky to have been overlooked for Interstellar, Inception and Memento, among others. There are only five nominations each year for Best Director, so many great directors miss out.
9 Ridley Scott Alien , Blade Runner , Gladiator Despite a remarkable filmography reaching back to the 1970s, Ridley Scott has surprisingly never won Best Director. Scott broke new ground in the sci-fi genre with Alien and Blade Runner, but he had to wait until the 1990s for his first Best Director nomination, which he earned for Thelma and Louise. He has since been nominated for both Gladiator and Black Hawk Down, but he is yet to win.

4 Paul Thomas Anderson Boogie Nights , There Will Be Blood , The Master Paul Thomas Anderson is one of the most surprising names on this list, as the prestigious director has earned numerous awards all over the world, but Oscars have so far eluded him. He has racked up an astonishing 11 nominations without a single win. His Best Director nominations, for There Will Be Blood, Phantom Thread, and Licorice Pizza, were all well-deserved, and he could have had more.
