12. Honorable Mention: John Ford

Ford is considered one of the most inventive directors in the history of Hollywood. Throughout his career, which spanned both the silent era and the formation of classical Hollywood, he created an incredible number of cinema treats that are both beloved by audiences and lauded by critics. To date, the director is the winningest director in Academy history. Ford was nominated five times and took home four statues. His closest competition is similarly talented filmmaker William Wyler who was nominated 12 times but took home only three Oscar wins.
