Two films — “The Favourite” and “Roma” — head into Sunday’s Academy Awards with a leading 10 nominations each. Two more — “A Star is Born” and “Vice” — have eight nominations while “Black Panther” reaped a lucky seven bids. “BlacKkKlansman” follows with six while both “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Green Book” have five. All eight of these films include a Best Picture bid among their nominations haul.
But only four of them earned nominations for their directors (“BlacKkKlansman,” “The Favourite,” “Roma” and “Vice”). Before the Academy Awards expanded the Best Picture race in 2010, it was rare for a film to win that top prize without at least having its helmer nominated. But since then, it has happened once (with Ben Affleck and “Argo” in 2013).
That was one of the four recent years when one film won Best Picture but another claimed the directing award. Ang Lee collected the Best Director Oscar in 2013 for “Life of Pi.” The other splits were in 2014 (“12 Years a Slave/Alfonso Cuaron, “Gravity”); 2016 (“Spotlight”/Alejandro G. Inarritu, “The Revenant”); and 2017 (“Moonlight”/Damien Chazelle, “La La Land”).
