Sidney Lumet (1924-2011)
One of the greatest directors the world ever had, Sidney Lumet directed several of the best movies of all time. He was also nominated for Best Director a total of five times, albeit never winning the prized little statue. He did receive an Honorary Oscar in 2005, arguably making up for being passed over so many times before.
Among my favorite of his movies I’d list 12 Angry Men (his motion picture directorial debut!!), Dog Day Afternoon, Network, Serpico, Murder on the Orient Express and Deathtrap.
His talent will be sorely missed.
