At the first Academy Awards in 1929, Lewis Milestone was awarded the Oscar for Best Director. Since only in 1929 was the Oscar for best director award in the two categories of drama and comedy (a division that was abolished a year later), Milestone is the only director ever to have received an Oscar in this category.
