- History [edit]. Throughout the past 87 years, AMPAS has presented a total of 89 Best Directing awards to 67 different directors. At the 1st Academy Awards (1927 / 1928), there were two directing awards—one for Dramatic Direction and one for Comedy Direction. The Comedy Direction award was eliminated the next year and, indeed, the awards have overwhelmingly favored dramatic films ever since. At both the 34th Academy Awards (1961) and the 80th Academy Awards (2007), Best Directing was presented to a co-directing team, rather than to an individual director. The earliest years of the award were marked by inconsistency and confusion.
