It's hard to believe Quentin Tarantino never got to celebrate a win for "Best Directing" at the Oscars.

In the world of making movies, there are some directors who've made films we all talk about, but they've never won the big prize for directing at the Oscars; it's kind of surprising when you think about all the amazing movies they've given us

These directors have a knack for telling stories in a way that sticks with us, whether they're making us laugh, cry, or sit on the edge of our seats; they've mastered the art of cinema, yet, for some reason, they've never been the ones to take home the Oscar for Best Director

This year, though, there's a lot of buzz around one of those directors, Nolan, who's made some of the coolest films we can think of; everyone's saying this is his year to win, even though the Oscars can still surprise us now and then

So, as we get ready for the Oscars on March 10th, this list is a shout-out to those incredible talents who've shaped the way we see movies, even if they haven't gotten that gold statue for directing; it's a reminder of how they've won over audiences around the world, Oscar or not
