Now Guillermo del Toro needs to win again in this category so the Three Amigos of Cinema (Iñárritu, Cuarón and Del Toro) have two Oscars for Best Directing each.

That spot was for Bradley Cooper's aclaimed directorial debut. Or,if they wanted to be inclussive,Barry Jenkins for "If beale street could talk" or Debra Granik for "Leave no trace",Which holds a 100% on RT making it The most acclaimed movie from a female director in 2018.
