The award is also the oldest to honor film directors in science fiction, fantasy and horror. It has been given 36 times, including a tie for the 1977 film year. James Cameron holds the record of the most wins with five, while Steven Spielberg is the most nominated director with eleven nominations. Only two other directors have won the award more than once: Peter Jackson and Bryan Singer. At the 22nd Saturn Awards, Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to win the award, 15 years before becoming the first woman to win the Academy Award for Best Director. Spielberg is also the first director to win Best Director fom both the Saturn Awards and the Academy Awards at the same year, but for different movies; while Peter Jackson is the first to win both for the same film. |
