Steven Sodenbergh wa nominated twice that year for best director for Traffic and Erin Brokovich.
There was no way he was not leaving with the Oscar for best director that year.
Traffic was a great movie to me. So was Gladiator but this not best film we're talking about but best director. Scott or Sodenbergh. In a year he's nominated for 2 different really good movies.
Of course this can lead in to the argument over best film and best director (what's the difference). In this case though it was not an upset.
Scott should have his oscar taken away for Exodus being made.
