Alfonso Cuarón (Roma)
Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón is best known for his films Y Tu Mamá También(2001), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban(2004), Children of Men(2006), and Gravity(2013).
He has been nominated for ten Academy Awards, including Best Original Screenplay for Y Tu Mamá También and Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Film Editing for Children of Men. In 2014, Cuarón became the first Latin American director to win the Academy Award for Best Director with Gravity.
His latest film, Netflix’s Roma, received 10 nominations at the 91st Academy Awards, including:
- Best Picture
- Best Foreign Language Film
- Best Director
- Best Actress
- Best Supporting Actress
It’s tied with The Favouriteas the most-nominated film, and with 2000’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon for the most Oscar nominations ever received by a film not in the English language.
After winning Best Director at the 76th Golden Globes Awards and Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film at this year’s Director’s Guild of America Awards, Cuarón is a massive favorite to win the Best Director trophy.

Spike Lee (BlacKkKlansman)
Spike Lee made his directorial debut with 1986’s She’s Gotta Have Itand has since directed films such as Do the Right Thing (1989), Malcolm X (1992), 25th Hour(2002), Inside Man (2006), and Chi-Raq (2015). He has been nominated five times for an Academy Award, but hasn’t won. In 2015, he was given the Academy Honorary Award for his contributions to cinema.
His latest feature, BlacKkKlansman, won the Grand Prix at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. The film has received six nominations at the 91st Academy Awards, including:
- Best Picture
- Best Director (Lee’s first-ever nomination in this category)
- Best Adapted Screenplay
- Best Supporting Actor
- Best Film Editing
- Best Original Score
Cuarón has seemingly had the Best Director category locked up all season, but Spike Lee is a visionary filmmaker riding high on his first directing nomination. If the Academy decides to spread the love around – Cuarón is also the frontrunner for cinematography and foreign film prizes – Lee could find himself going home with an Oscar for his best, hardest-hitting work in decades.
