All 7 Movies Nominated for Best Director, but No Other Oscars
The highest honor that a filmmaker can possibly aspire to is a Best Director Academy Award. Handed out since the very first Oscars in 1929, nominations for this highly coveted award have gone to several of the greatest movie directors the art form has ever had. Much more often than not, a Best Directing nomination comes with at least a few other nods in different categories—including, quite often, Best Picture. Seven noteworthy times in history, however, that wasn’t the case. On these seven occasions, the only Oscar nod a film received was Best Directing.
The reason why this phenomenon is so rare is that it’s almost impossible to conceive a film that the Academy deems worthy of a nomination in what’s arguably the second most prestigious prize of the night, but not in any other category. The directors who have attained such an honor, however, are among the most important filmmakers in history. From David Lynch to Martin Scorsese, they’re directors so strong that the Academy looked at their movies and decided their work was so great that it deserved a Directing nod, even if they didn’t deem the film worthy of any more recognition. They are presented in chronological order.

‘The Inn of the Sixth Happiness’ (1958) — Mark Robson
The first time that a movie’s sole nomination was for Best Directing was in 1959, when Mark Robson received the second Oscar nomination of his career, for The Inn of the Sixth Happiness. This was only a year after he had received his first nomination, for the crime drama Peyton Place. As for The Inn, it’s a biopic starring Ingrid Bergman as Gladys Aylward, a British evangelical missionary who ran an inn for traveling merchants in China during the tumultuous years leading up to WWII.
It was only Robson who received a nomination, with the DGA having been the only precursor award he’d been nominated for beforehand.
Though terribly underappreciated nowadays, this is one of Ingrid Bergman’s most essential movies, where she delivers a phenomenal performance that was nominated for a BAFTA and a Golden Globe. When it came time for the Oscars, however, it was only Robson who received a nomination, with the DGA having been the only precursor award he’d been nominated for beforehand. It was a perfectly well-deserved nomination, too. Robson bring a dramatic, moving tone to this sweeping historical epic, which doesn’t have a single dead spot throughout its nearly 3-hour runtime.

‘Alice’s Restaurant’ (1969) — Arthur Penn
Alice’s Restaurant is an adaptation of the 1967 folk song “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree” by Arlo Guthrie. Movie adaptations of singular songs aren’t exactly typical, but this dramedy (in which Guthrie stars as himself) shines thanks to its uniqueness. It follows a bohemian musician who, after dumping trash in the bottom of a ravine, gets arrested for littering and is sent on a bizarre journey. It’s a simple, laid-back, countercultural gem that’s kind of like if Easy Rider went easier on the sociopolitics and much heavier on the vibes.
Some have criticized the film for being a bit too politically lukewarm, but it’s such a warm, funny, and welcoming slice-of-life flick that it’s impossible to hate it outright. The Academy certainly didn’t hate it, as director Arthur Penn was Oscar-nominated without having been a part of any precursors. This was his third Oscar nomination after The Miracle Worker in 1963 and Bonnie and Clyde in 1968. Penn’s direction is a complex balancing act of charming humor and countercultural melancholy, a balancing act that he admirably succeeds at. His direction is far and away the most brilliant part of this rather imperfect film, and as such, his Oscar nod was nothing to complain about.
5
‘Fellini Satyricon’ (1969) — Federico Fellini
There has never been an Italian filmmaker more popular, important, or groundbreaking than the great Federico Fellini. Studying his filmography is the best possible way of learning about the trajectory of 20th-century Italian cinema: The auteur began his career as an essential voice in the Italian Neorealist movement, and one can track the country’s move away from that tradition by tracking Fellini’s shift toward more subjective, psychologically personal cinema. By the time he made Fellini Satyricon, the director had already moved as far away from any kind of neorealist aesthetic current as he could possibly get.
Lavish and hedonistic, this episodic series of disjointed mythological tales set in 1st-century Rome is one of Fellini’s most divisive yet audacious works. Precursors didn’t adore Satyricon, but some of them certainly recognized it (it received a Best Foreign Language Film Golden Globe nomination). When the Oscars came, however, it was only Fellini’s brilliance that received recognition. It’s not like anyone’s complaining: This was a well-earned nomination for an artist that was nominated for 12 Oscars throughout his career (but never won), for a film that presents some of the most adventurous, visually striking, and artistically confident direction of any ’60s motion picture.
4
‘Blue Velvet’ (1986) — David Lynch
It was incredibly divisive among critics and audiences alike when it originally came out, but today, David Lynch‘s cult classic Blue Velvet is recognized by many as one of the greatest movie masterpieces of the 20th century. The late David Lynch was a genius madman with a camera, an easy choice for the title of “most important surrealist filmmaker of modern times.” For this sexually-charged neo-noir masterpiece, some started seeing Lynch as a master of subversive cinema, while others heavily criticized how explicit his work was. In the end, though, after a pretty decent run throughout the 1986-87 awards season, Lynch made it all the way to his second Best Directing nomination, and third Oscar nod overall.
Blue Velvet may have been controversial back in ’86, but with the years’ passage, this Oscar nomination has come to age as one of the most inspired and satisfying of the decade. Erotic, sensual, intense, and as perfectly dreamlike as the rest of Lynch’s filmography, Blue Velvet is a nearly faultless example of what the work of an auteur in full control of his craft looks like. The way Lynch pushes both the characters and the audience to constantly shocking—but never exploitative—places was more than enough to make him worthy of that Oscar nod.
3
‘The Last Temptation of Christ’ (1988) — Martin Scorsese
There are those who would refer to Martin Scorsese as the single greatest living filmmaker, and no one would blame them. He’s made several of the greatest films in history, but like any great director worth their salt, his career hasn’t been without its fair share of controversy. There’s really not much of a question as to what Scorsese’s most controversial picture is: That title would have to go to The Last Temptation of Christ. This religious drama penned by frequent Scorsese collaborator Paul Schrader was based on the equally-controversial novel by Nikos Kazantzakis, and is a fictional exploration of the spiritual conflict of Jesus’ human side. Despite the “fictional” part, however, various Christian groups across the world attacked and boycotted the movie, calling it blasphemous.
With time, that rage has cooled down and cinephiles have come to appreciate this criminally underrated gem as what it is: One of Scorsese’s biggest masterpieces and greatest epics. Despite all the controversy and no significant precursors to his name, Scorsese obtained the Best Directing Oscar nod. The decision has aged beautifully. Meditatively paced and shockingly powerful (both intellectually and emotionally), Last Temptation offers some of Scorsese’s strongest 20th-century work. His direction has arguably aged even better than that of the 1989 Oscar winner, The Last Emperor‘s Bernardo Bertolucci.
2
‘Short Cuts’ (1993) — Robert Altman
Robert Altman was one of the greatest and most important voices of the New Hollywood film movement, offering some of the era’s most subversive and brilliantly satirical films, often with huge ensemble casts. He kept doing terrific work for the rest of his career, too, which obviously includes the ’90s. His best film of that decade? There’s hardly any question about it: It has to be Short Cuts, an anthology movie inspired by nine short stories and a poem by Raymond Carver.
The movie was a tragic box office flop, but it performed wonderfully with critics, who labeled it a beautifully complex ensemble piece. For his flawless balance between humor and emotion, his ability to keep the story engaging throughout every second of the 189-minute runtime, and the fact that he pulled equally-exceptional performances out of every actor in his star-studded cast, Altman made his way to the fourth Best Directing (and fifth overall) Oscar nomination of his career, following a decent precursor run. It’s easily one of the best films of this masterful director’s career; so, if anything, it deserved even more Oscar nominations.
1
‘Mulholland Drive’ (2001) — David Lynch
Who else but David Lynch could possibly be deserving of the honor of being the sole recipient of an Oscar nomination for one of his films twice? In all fairness, as one of the greatest films of not just the 21st century, but of all time, Mulholland Drive deserved many nominations on top of Best Directing. At a minimum, Best Picture, Best Actress for both Naomi Watts and Laura Harring, Best Supporting Actor for Justin Theroux, and a Best Screenplay nod for one of the best scripts of the 2000s would have been in order. But it’s a tried-and-true sad fact of life that the Academy doesn’t always get things right (particularly when it comes to arthouse and surrealist films), so a Best Directing nomination is better than nothing.
It also couldn’t have happened for a more deserving directing work. Mulholland Drive is widely praised as Lynch’s best film, and as such, as the best directing work of his career. What starts out as a quirky, melodramatic, mysterious critique of the Hollywood Dream slowly starts transforming into a waking nightmare, and Lynch handles that transition like a pro. Dreamlike, thought-provoking, and full of fascinating symbolism and imagery, Mulholland Drive has aged as the greatest film of 2001 by a decent margin. No shade to Ron Howard or A Beautiful Mind, but this would have been remembered as a far stronger and more satisfying Best Picture and Best Directing recipient.

Fans are saying they feel like they’re literally living in a dream after seeing Ari Fletcher and DreamDoll pose together while at Arrogant Tae’s birthday bash. One photo that’s been making the rounds online shows the ladies sitting pretty while posted up at what looks like a nightclub. Both of them flashed big smiles while Dream leaned in and Ari wrapped her arm around her. There’s no word on whether they had rekindled their friendship prior to Tae’s party, but fans aren’t even concerned; they are just happy to see the girlies squash their supposed drama and be back together again.
The Internet Is Livin’ For Dream & Ari’s Reunion
After The Shade Room shared the photo of Ari Fletcher and DreamDoll, fans rushed to the comment section with reactions. Some folks couldn’t stop talking about how pretty the ladies looked, while others said it’s great to see that they’ve squashed things.

Here’s What Ari & Dream Previously Said About Where They Stand
Fans have speculated about the status between Ari Fletcher and DreamDoll for a minute now, but neither of them ever explained why they seemed to press pause on their friendship. Still, both ladies were open about where they stood at different times. During a past episode of Ari’s YouTube series, ‘Cooking With The Don,’ she told her former friend Tuson that she and Dream weren’t beefing. She said she still had love for her, but at that moment, she was “straight on her.”
“We not beefing, but I’m just straight on her. I’m just straight on her right now.” Ari continued, “She know what it is. I’m just straight on her right now, but I love Dream.”

Cinephiles, rejoice! It’s officially Oscars weekend, with the 98th Academy Awards taking place at the Los Angeles Dolby Theatre this Sunday evening. Paul Thomas Anderson’s politically poignant One Battle After Another and Ryan Coogler’s acclaimed vampire flick Sinners are favorites to take home the most prizes, especially considering the latter’s breaking of the record for most nominations. But both face tough competition for a host of top films from the past year, including the Joel Edgerton-led Train Dreams, the Danish-Norwegian drama Sentimental Value, the visually stunning Frankenstein, and the genre-blending slow-burner The Secret Agent.
The latter, written and directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho, is the second Brazilian movie in two years to be nominated for Best Picture, after I’m Still Here became the country’s first to do so in 2025. Earlier this year, Wagner Moura picked up the Golden Globe for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for his leading turn in The Secret Agent, a performance for which he has also earned an Academy Award nod. The film has also earned nominations in the Best Casting and Best International Feature Film categories. The film also won four prizes at the Cannes Film Festival, including in the Best Director and Best Actor categories.
Ahead of this year’s ceremony, with the film bidding to take home at least one Golden Statue, The Secret Agent is quietly impressing on the streaming charts. At the time of writing, the movie is one of the most-streamed on Hulu in the U.S., a list topped by Predator: Badlands. A synopsis of The Secret Agent reads:
“Brazil, 1977. Marcelo, a technology expert in his early 40s, is on the run. Hoping to reunite with his son, he travels to Recife during Carnival but soon realizes that the city is not the safe haven he was expecting.”

‘The Secret Agent’ Is a Critical Smash
Ever since its Cannes premiere last May, The Secret Agent has received gushing praise from critics across the world. This is illustrated best on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, where the movie boasts a near-perfect 98% score from critics and an 83% score from audiences. The consensus on the site reads, “A thematically rich and visually arresting political thriller, The Secret Agent blends grindhouse stylization with biting social commentary to weave a vividly dangerous yet darkly human tale.”

Kathie Lee Gifford is one of the most iconic names in American television, thanks to her longtime stints on shows like “Live with Regis and Kathie Lee” and “Today.” Now, Gifford, who recently released a new book, the second in her biblical non-fiction series, is opening up about her final lunch with Regis Philbin and his passing.
Kathie Lee Gifford Kept In Touch With Regis Philbin After Leaving ‘Live’
Gifford announced on air in July 2000 that she was leaving “Live With Regis and Kathie Lee.” This came after she had hosted the hit ABC morning talk show alongside Philbin for 15 years. Notably, her announcement came as a surprise to her beloved co-host.
In March 2026, Gifford spoke to PEOPLE about the relationship she maintained with Philbin after leaving the show. According to her, “I saw him a lot. We became much closer friends even as the years went on, after I left. We lived very close to each other in Greenwich.”
The Former ‘Today’ Host Saw Regis Two Weeks Before His Death
Gifford continued her PEOPLE interview, saying she moved to Tennessee after leaving “Today” in 2019. Despite the move, she and Philbin made a point of having lunch every two weeks. She told the outlet, “I saw him two weeks before he died.”
Gifford continued, “We had a three-hour lunch, and I had everything he loved made for him that day. And we laughed, oh, we laughed our butts off.”
After that, she discussed his death, saying somehow she knew. According to the author, “I was back in [the South] and had writing sessions and recording sessions and was always busy, but then one morning I woke up, and the Lord told me very clearly — I don’t hear him, but I know his voice, if that makes any sense — and he said, ‘Get on a plane and go home.’”
She added, “I didn’t know why he said it, but I got on a plane, and no sooner had I landed than I turned my phone back on and there was a message from a dear friend who said, ‘I’m so sorry about your friend Regis.’ And I knew, because when I’d seen him two weeks before, when he got out of the car to come into my house, [the Lord] said, ‘This is the last time you’re gonna see him.’”
The Beloved Talk Show Host Passed Away In July 2020
According to Today, Philbin passed away on July 24, 2020, only one month before his 89th birthday. Months after his passing, Gifford appeared on “The Talk” and discussed her friend and his final days, revealing that the COVID-19 pandemic had taken a toll on the former host and his mental health.
She said, “He had been depressed in the weeks and months earlier, because of the COVID. You know, Regis couldn’t perform anywhere; nobody was out and about, and he couldn’t be Regis for people, you know? And it broke his heart.”
Gifford then said, “One of his dearest friends had just recently died of COVID. He was pretty much in a depression, I think. Regis just lived to make people happy. He certainly made me happy for the 35 years that we were great friends.”
She Recently Released A New Book
Gifford released her latest book, “Nero and Paul,” co-written with Dr. Bryan M. Litfin, on March 10, 2026. This came after she first announced the book in July 2025.
Previously, in 2024, she spoke to Woman’s World about her passion for writing Bible-based content. Gifford said, “My fascination with Herod goes back to my first rabbinical trip. We believe that Jesus’ story is the greatest ever told. Well, Herod is the greatest story never told, unless you are some sort of a scholar.”
The former host then discussed her co-writer, saying, “My son, Cody, found this fantastic co-author for me [Brian M. Litfin, PhD], and Cody suggested a series of different books called Ancient Evil, Living Hope. The next one, I think, will be Nero and Paul. There’s always been evil, but there’s always been God’s presence in the world as well.”
Kathie Lee Gifford Recently Criticised The LGBTQ+ Community
Gifford appeared on the “Tomi Lahren Is Fearless” podcast in March 2026. While on the show, the topic of Gifford reconciling being a traditional Christian with supporting gay rights came up. She responded, “That one is a four-letter word, and it’s called L-O-V-E, love.”
However, after saying she had many gay friends, Gifford offered one criticism, saying, “I don’t even know how many letters there are now. They’ve really got to stop with that. We know what you mean, you know?”
Still, she admitted that it was not her place to tell people how to live their lives.

Jack Black is trending online after a video of the actor strolling through Hollywood draped in a Pride flag began circulating across social media. The clip quickly sparked a heated debate, with some critics calling the moment “cringe” while others rushed to defend the “School of Rock” star and his long history of supporting LGBTQ+ rights. As the footage continues to spread online, the moment has reignited discussion about Black’s activism, personal experiences, and past statements about the LGBTQ+ community.
Jack Black Video From Hollywood Goes Viral
The viral clip shows Jack Black walking along a busy Hollywood street while wearing a rainbow Pride flag draped across his shoulders. The video appears to have been filmed by someone nearby as a small group of people followed him with a camera setup while he walked down the sidewalk.
One social media user shared the clip online and criticized the actor for the moment. “Jack Black was spotted strolling through Hollywood draped with a LGBTQ flag,” they wrote. “Dude is cringe af.”
As the video spread, several commenters shared blunt criticism of the actor. “What a loser,” one user wrote as another commenter added, “Never ever liked him. Think his movies suck.” A third critic chimed in, “I have always disliked Jack Black.”
Some Users Step In To Defend The Actor
While the criticism was loud, not everyone agreed with the backlash surrounding the viral video. Some users defended Black and argued that celebrating diversity should not be mocked online.
“Everyone has a right to their own views, but celebrating diversity shouldn’t be seen as ‘cringe,’” someone said. “A community where people feel free to be themselves is a stronger community.”
Supporters also pointed out that Black has been openly supportive of LGBTQ+ rights for many years.
Personal Tragedy Shaped Black’s Perspective
Black has previously spoken about how his family experiences shaped his views on LGBTQ+ issues. In a 2015 interview with Parade while promoting “Goosebumps,” the actor opened up about the impact of losing his brother Howard to AIDS in the late 1980s.
“I have two gay siblings: my big sister, Rachel, and my big brother, Howard,” he told the magazine. “He was a big influence on me. He took me to my first rock concert. I was 11; he was 23. He was so vibrant, creative, amazing. He shaped my taste in music.”
Black Opens Up About Brother’s Devastating Death During AIDS Crisis
Black described the slow deterioration his brother experienced during the AIDS crisis as deeply painful for the entire family. “[Death] didn’t happen quickly. We all saw the deterioration. He was only 31. So very young. We were robbed of something precious,” he continued. “It was devastating. It was hard for all of us, but it was hardest for my mom when we lost Howard. She’s never really recovered.”
The loss also influenced how Black approaches parenting his own children. “Sometimes I think maybe I’m a little bit of a helicopter dad hovering above my kids and making sure that they never are in harm’s way,” he said. “But losing a family member is the worst thing I could imagine.”
Jack Black Has Long Supported LGBTQ+ Rights
Black has also been outspoken about LGBTQ+ equality in the past. In 2016, during an appearance on “HuffPost Live,” the actor spoke about progress surrounding same-sex marriage while promoting his film “The D Train.”
The movie explored themes related to bisexuality, and Black praised the broader movement for civil rights. “It’s a good time for civil rights. … Get out of the way, oldies!” he said as he performed an impromptu dance during the interview.
Jack Black Previously Spoke Out Against Same-Sex Marriage Opposition
Black has also used his platform in the past to criticize political leaders who opposed marriage equality. During a past discussion about the global movement toward LGBTQ+ rights, the actor weighed in on former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s continued resistance to same-sex marriage at the time.
Black did not hold back when sharing his perspective on the issue. “I personally think the guy’s living in the stone ages,” Black said, per The Independent. “He’s not seeing the writing on the wall. The movement of the world is headed towards equality for all people, all sexual preferences. Come on, we are all the same in the end.”
He later added, “Yeah, he sounds like a bit of a nutter.”
