Adrian Lyne

(April 11, 1998) Lyne's Best Director Oscar nomination for Atração Fatal (1987) coincided with John Boorman (UK) for Esperança e Glória (1987), Lasse Hallström (Sweden) for Minha Vida de Cachorro (1985), Norman Jewison (Canada) for Feitiço da Lua (1987) and winner Bernardo Bertolucci (Italy) for O Último Imperador (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.
