Damien Chazelle’s first movie was “Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench” (2009). You got it wrong.

6. Bob Peterson co-directed Up. Got a Best Picture nod.

This was a fun list, but there are some errors.

1. Robert Redford was not only nominated for his first directorial feature – he won. So that must be included in the other mentions, of course.

2. Peter Cattaneo DID get a Best Director nod for The Full Monty.

3. Whiplash is not Damien Chazelle\’s debut feature, it\’s his second.

4. "Rachel, Rachel", Paul Newman\’s debut feature as a director got a Best Picture nomination, so that should be included in the mentions.

5. The same goes for Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise, the two directors of "Beauty and the Beast".

Great selection and coverage as always. Redford won the award for Ordinary People.
