 Re: Which directors will win an(other) Oscar in their lifetime? Uh, LOTR weren't nominated because of Jackson. They were nominated because they were LOTR and uber-event pictures with classy sources.
King Kong showed that he's far from an Oscar Golden Boy yet.

There really is no reason IMO to believe that PJ is this Academy-darling outside of LOTR. Hell, I think there's actually a good chance he misses out on Lovley Bones (I'm starting to think that it will be this years Revolutionary Road). Nah. Lovely Bones is way more well-known.

Sam Mendes (again)
Neil Jordan
James Mangold I think Daldry will be one of those with five noms and no wins or so. Mendes is definitely possible, though. He sure as hell is trying, hehe. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Away We Go with John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph this year. Then an adaptation of The Preacher comic. I'd say he's given up.
