I'm a bit confused by the actor clues. Demme did direct Mary Steenburgen, but she did not win an Oscar under his direction. Jodie Foster seems the more obvious clue.

Bogdanovich, not Bogdonavich.

Steenburgen's Oscar was for "Melvin and Howard," which Demme did direct.

Also... Alan Pakula did not direct Meryl Streep to her two Oscars in Kramer vs. Kramer (Robert Benton) or Out of Africa (Sydney Pollack.) And... Mr. LeRoy first name is Mervyn, not Melvin.

Apologies for the misspellings...I corrected. Meryl Streep didn't win an Oscar for Out of Africa, Geraldine Page did that year. She did win for Sophie's Choice which was Pakula (along with Kramer by Benton). And yes, Jonathan Demme directed Mary Steenburgen in Melvin & Howard, for which she won.

This is a good idea for a quiz!
Some surprising people missing from this list are Frank Capra, Francis Ford Coppola and Steven Spielberg. In fact, Spielberg has never directed an actor to an Oscar-winning performance.
Also, it's Charlton Heston, not Charleton

I think there might be a mistake with the Martin Ritt clue...Spacek's only Oscar was for Coal Miner's Daughter, which was directed by Michael Apted, not Martin Ritt.

Hard to believe that Spielberg has never directed an oscar winning performance. He came close with Liam Neeson & Ralph Fiennes in Schindlers List. Tom Hanks was robbed an his third oscar as Capt John Miller
