Incidentally, I lost all respects for the Academy Awards after Kevin Costner's PC-drenched Dances With Wolves beat out Scorsese's magisterial Goodfellas for top honors in 1991.

That, and the fact that Hitchcock never won, shows what a joke the award is.

You can make a great viewing list of directors who never won a competitive Oscar. Hawks, Lubitsch, Sternberg, Stroheim, Hitchcock, Ray, Welles, Kubrick.
