libertangoSo, looks like I was wrong about the Oscars. Another beautiful theory shattered on the rocks of fact.
But I note that, because Crash's director, Paul Haggis, was also a producer of the movie, he got an Oscar of his own when Crash won Best Picture. Ang Lee, of course, won Best Director for Brokeback Mountain. Clooney picked up Best Supporting Actor, albeit for Syriana.
My point? My point is, that means 3 of the 5 people nominated for an Oscar for Best Director actually walked home with one, somehow or other. That seems remarkably Solomonic -- and I'm reasonably sure it's a first (I wish there was a Mike Glyer-esque fount of Oscar wisdom readily availble, the way Mike knows the Hugos inside and out).
