OSCAR, 78th Annual Academy Awards, Best Director-Ang Lee"Brokeback Mountain" filmmaker Ang Lee did win the best-director prize for the tale of two old sheepherding pals who carry on a love affair they conceal from their families for years.
Lee, whose martial-arts epic "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the foreign-language Oscar five years ago, became the first Asian filmmaker to win Hollywood's main filmmaking honor.
"I wish I knew how to quit you," Lee told the audience crowd, reiterating the film's most-quoted line.
