Adrian Lyne

(April 11, 1998) Lyne's Best Director Oscar nomination for Atracción fatal (1987) coincided with John Boorman (UK) for Esperanza y gloria (1987), Lasse Hallström (Sweden) for Mi vida como un perro (1985), Norman Jewison (Canada) for Hechizo de luna (1987) and winner Bernardo Bertolucci (Italy) for El último emperador (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.
