The All-Time Oscars: Fourth Preliminaries

Today, we have three categories that will need to be voted on in the quest to determine the winners of The All-Time Oscars: Best Directing, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress. The categories just keep getting more and more serious. So, to compensate that, there are eighty nominees in each and I would love (if you're willing) to get those three eighties down to three forties. Oh, boy!
