The only one I can come up with is Clint Eastwood. The film was Million Dollar Baby and the song was I Talk to the Trees from Paint Your Wagon. Nov 03 05, 11:53 PM

Yay RMG! The song was the B-side on the number one hit "Wandering Star" sung in memorably gruff fashion by Lee Marvin. I had forgotten all about "Million Dollar Baby" so that's two films he has won Best Director for. He also wrote incidental music for "Unforgiven". Nov 04 05, 1:37 AM
