This page lists the winners of and nominees for the Golden Globe Award for Best Director.[1] Since its inception in 1943, it has been presented annually by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, an organization composed of journalists who cover the United States film industry for publications based outside North America.
Having won all four of his nominations, Elia Kazan has been honored most often in this category. Clint Eastwood, David Lean, Miloš Forman, and Oliver Stone tie for second place with three wins each. Steven Spielberg has had the most nominations (ten) but has received the award only twice. Barbra Streisand is the only woman to have won the award.
In the following lists, the first names, listed in bold type against a blue background, are the winners, and the following names are the remaining nominees. The years given are those in which the films under consideration were released, not the year of the ceremony, which takes place in January of the following year. A "†" indicates that the director won the Academy Award for Best Director the same year for the same film.
