Films That Won the Academy Award for Best Director

Best Picture Oscar winners also win Best Director 75% of the time. That could be changing though, as Best Picture is now decided by a convoluted ranking system. Three of the past 4 winners didn't match, including this year. It certainly makes Oscar watching more interesting, if not more fair.
