Adrian Lyne

(April 11, 1998) Lyne's Best Director Oscar nomination for Liaison fatale (1987) coincided with John Boorman (UK) for Hope and Glory: La guerre à sept ans (1987), Lasse Hallström (Sweden) for Ma vie de chien (1985), Norman Jewison (Canada) for Éclair de lune (1987) and winner Bernardo Bertolucci (Italy) for Le dernier empereur (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.
