14. Stanley Kubrick
Stanley Kubrick was a visionary director at home in any genre. He rocked the world of science fiction with 2001: A Space Odyssey flipped dystopian fiction upside down with A Clockwork Orange and even dabbled in comedy with Dr. Strangelove. Somehow, Stanley lost Best Director for Dr. Strangelove to My Fair Lady. He was never even nominated for many of his greatest films, including Lolita and Full Metal Jacket. To add further insult to injury, the deceased filmmaker still hasn’t been granted a lifetime achievement award.
