1. I think maybe Jane Campion and maybe Kathryn Bigelow. Then I'll just list a few other favorites to round it out, though don't think any of them were nominated: Celine Sciamma (maybe for best foreign language oscar), Debra Granik, Kelly Reichardt AND Sofia Coppola on the strength of Lost In Translation alone, which is a favorite. She won for best screenplay, I think, but I can't remember if it was nominated for best pic.

Friday's questions: 1. In the past 10 years, five women have been nominated for “Best Director” at the Academy Awards. Name as many of those directors as you can (including the two that won the award). 2. What 18th-century American newspaper publisher wrote a series of popular gossip and advice columns under a variety of pen names, including Silence Dogood and “The Busy-Body”? 3. On what piece of clothing will you find an aglet? 4. Batman's butler is named Alfred. What is his last name? 5. Yesterday was November 14. On that day in 1840, painter Claude Monet was born.
