Great Directors Series on Turner Classic Movies
Jeanne Moreau, Henri Serre, Oskar Werner in François Truffaut’s Jules et Jim
In June, Turner Classic Movies‘ month-long series "Great Directors" will be celebrating the efforts of 52 films directors, from past and present, from Hollywood and overseas (though, as to be expected, mostly Hollywood).
Among TCM’s "greats" are, inevitably, Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Billy Wilder, Steven Spielberg, and John Ford, but also Jacques Tourneur, Mervyn LeRoy, and Budd Boetticher.
Akira Kurosawa, Federico Fellini, Carol Reed, and Ingmar Bergman are four of the non-Hollywood filmmakers who have been included in the series.
Each weekday of the "Great Directors" series will feature two directors — one during the day; the other at night. The daytime lineup includes Victor Fleming (June [...]

Oscar Answers #1 & 2
Before looking at the answers, you may want to test your Oscar knowledge — or lack thereof — by checking out the Oscar Quiz first.
Oscar Answer No. 1
William Wyler (right). From Walter Brennan* to Barbra Streisand, Wyler directed 36 Oscar-nominated performances.
Elia Kazan comes in second place, with 24 nominations; George Cukor in third, with 21; and both Fred Zinnemann and Martin Scorsese in fourth, with 20.
* Following some serious "creative differences" with producer Samuel Goldwyn, Howard Hawks was replaced by William Wyler during the making of the 1936 family saga Come and Get It, for which Walter Brennan won the first ever best supporting actor Oscar. Both Wyler and Hawks shared directorial credit for the film.

William Wyler: Top Oscar Directors for Actors
William Wyler was one of the greatest film directors Hollywood — or any other film industry — has ever produced. Today, Wyler lacks the following of Alfred Hitchcock, John Ford, or even Howard Hawks most likely because, unlike Hitchcock or Ford, Wyler never focused on a particular genre, while his films were hardly as male-centered as those of the aforementioned three directors. Dumb but true: Films about women and their issues tend to be perceived as inferior to those about men — especially tough men — and their issues.
For his part, Wyler tackled all sorts of topics, directing just about anything — epics, Westerns, family dramas, socially conscious dramas, melodramas, crime stories, thrillers, romances, comedies, and musicals.
