It’s hard to believe that after 27 feature films, Ridley Scott still has yet to win an Oscar. He came closest at the 73rd Academy Awards, where his 2000 film “Gladiator” won Best Picture and Russell Crowe won Best Actor.
But Scott wasn’t a credited producer on that film, so the Best Picture win isn’t precisely his. Plus, he lost Best Director that year to Steven Soderbergh for “Traffic” and again to Ron Howard the following year after being nominated for “Black Hawk Down.” Scott hasn’t received a nod for Best Director since, with 2015’s “The Martian” the last time a film of his received a nomination for Best Picture.
