Steven Soderbergh, Ron Howard, Roman Polanski, Peter Jackson, Clint Eastwood, Ang Lee, Martin Scorsese, Joel & Ethan Coen.
This is (except for one) an impressive list of winners. If they can keep it up for another two years, this will be Oscar's most impressive decade for best director winners ever!

Too bad it couldn't happen, but I think we're faced with a Thin Red Line kind of situation. In another 10 years, I think we'll all be looking back similarly. While people liked both SPR and SiL, the film they liked most was The Thin Red Line.
