William Wyler is the filmmaker with the most Best Picture nominations (13) and Best Picture victories (3). He was also the only person to direct both winners in the same year: 1949's The Yearling and 1950's Ben-Hur. Wyler's achievements have never been recognized by the Academy, which has not nominated or awarded prizes to any film director. Lloyd Bacon directed seven films that were nominated for Best Picture, but he never won.
