Last weeks question:
Who is the only director to beat themselves for Best Director at the Oscars?

I got four answers. The first was Peter_24601:
Steven Soderbergh had two nominations for Best Director last year, one for Traffic (which won) and one for Erin Brocka-bitch.

Next was dallasite:
Francis Ford Coppola

Third was Poohbear1:
Steven Soderbergh, who won for “Traffic” was also nominated for “Erin Brockovich”

And the last was Corbeau:
It happened last year in the Best Director category – Steven Soderbergh was nominated for both Erin Brockovich and Traffic and won for Traffic. =o)

Yup. Steven Sodebergh made history at the Oscars by beating himself and three others for Best Director.

Now the bad. Due to the fact that I’m going home for the holidays next week, and I’m not sure how much internet access I’ll get, I have decided to give the comps a holiday. Fear not, however. The quote comp will stop on Tuesday, and both will return next year.

Will
