Yes, Best Director. But I lost all faith in the Oscars when Saving Private Ryan, the best film of 1998 (and the best film of the 1990's, in my opinion) lost out to a pansy film like Shakespeare In Love.

I actually think Schindler's List was the best film of the 90s! :-) I think it didnt win BP because SL had won just 5 years earlier. But I think they made the right choice that year. Spielberg got a Directing Oscar but the film itself...with a mediocre and cliched script didn't win.
