Golden Globes Best Director History

2020 and 2021 saw both Chloe Zhao and Jame Campion get the double of Best Director at both the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards. 

In 2019 Sam Mendes won the Golden Globe but the Oscar was won by Bong Joon-ho for Parasite

In 2014 the Oscar went to Alejandro Gonzales Innarittu for Birdman whereas Richard Linklater won the Golden Globe for Boyhood. 

The first three years of the decade saw Ben Affleck, Martin Scorsese and David Fincher win the Golden Globe, but Ang Lee Tom Hooper and Michael Hazanavicius picked up the Best Director Oscar. 

Of the last 12 Golden Globe Best Director winners, 7 of them went on to win the Best Director Oscar.
