Adrian Lyne

(April 11, 1998) Lyne's Best Director Oscar nomination for Eine verhängnisvolle Affäre (1987) coincided with John Boorman (UK) for Hope and Glory - Der Krieg der Kinder (1987), Lasse Hallström (Sweden) for Mein Leben als Hund (1985), Norman Jewison (Canada) for Mondsüchtig (1987) and winner Bernardo Bertolucci (Italy) for Der letzte Kaiser (1987). This was the only instance in Oscar history where all five Best Director nominees were non-Americans.

I like movies that create discussion; I love it when they haven't forgotten about your movie by dinnertime and they're still arguing about it the next day - that's what a movie should do, it should create discussion.
