Directors Who've Directed the Most Acting Accolades

Diversity

As the film industry is still mostly comprised of positions filled by white men, I'd like to highlight the superlatives for female and/or non-caucasian superlative winners for directing, acting, writing, cinematography, score, production design and editing. As film is such a gateway to other cultures, and for different perspectives, I hope that the industry becomes more inclusive and representative of our diverse populous, and that such a list will no longer be relevant.
