, Paul Haggis for
Crash
, Bennett Miller for
Capote

Though he's not the
bragging
type, Ang Lee has legitimate
bragging
rights for
Brokeback Mountain
: over 70 awards were won by him, the movie, the actors, writers or creative staff in 2005, and that's not even counting the nominations. Yeehaw!

After the setback of
Hulk
, Ang Lee had
considered
retiring early, but his father encouraged him to continue making movies. His next project was
Brokeback Mountain
, and the rest is history.

Ang is described as an
exacting
director, expecting actors to have done their homework and show up prepared.

Success at the box office for Ang Lee's films was indicated by how audiences hungered to see
Eat Drink Man Woman
, hailed
The Ice Storm
, empathized with
Sense and Sensibility
and
flocked
to see
Brokeback Mountain.

While Ang Lee was struggling to break into the movie business, he was a
househusband
for six years, but after his many successes, he became a household name as the art-house king.

Ang Lee's casting of Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal as Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist
intensified
speculation that he would over-Hollywoodize Annie Proulx's short story; however, that fear proved to be groundless.

Praise from the praiseworthy is much appreciated
