14. Billy Wilder
With two Golden Globe wins for Best Director, Wilder's impressive legacy is a testament to his innovative storytelling and masterful direction. He won his first Best Director in 1946 for The Lost Weekend, breaking with unflinching honesty by utilizing a taboo subject-addiction. Just five years later, he bagged his second for Sunset Blvd., one that could be described, in general terms, as a dark comedy dealing with the ups and downs experienced in Hollywood from the Golden Age.
