Which Director has directed the most Oscar-winning actors?

a tough fact to google. I think Woody Allen has to be close:

Diane Keaton - Annie Hall
Diane Wiest - Hannah and her Sisters
Michael Caine - Hannah and her Sisters
Mira Sorino - Mighty Aphrodite
Diane Wiest - Bullets over Broadway

Who can think of a director with more than 5?

1. William Wyler...

and I believe the number is 14. He holds a few other Oscar records as well.

I'm sure Elia Kazan also has had more Oscar winning actors than Woody Allen. I'd have to look up the number, but I can think of six offhand.

3. Good choice....

I was thinking of Wyler, but it would be too hard to search through the Oscars database for all his movies. I'd thought of Kazan, too, but didn't know all his movies and therefore what to search for.

Or Martin Scorsese. I actually have no idea.
