Pinnochio
Fantasia
The Thief of Baghdad
The Sea Hawk
They Drive by Night

i'd go with Fantasia.

Yes, here are the ones I know of besides Alfred Hitchcock:
Ernst Lubitsch:
The Smiling Lieutenant
and
One Hour with You
– these were films from 1931 and 1932 respectively, but were both nominated for Best Picture at the 1932 Academy Awards which honored films from parts of both those years.
Michael Curtiz:
The Adventures of Robin Hood
and
Four Daughters
(1938).
Victor Fleming:
The Wizard of Oz
and
Gone with the Wind
(1939)
Francis Ford Coppola:
The Conversation
(1974) and
The Godfather Part II
(1974).
Steven Soderbergh:
Erin Brockovich
and
Traffic
(2000).

His Girl Friday
My Favorite Wife
The Thief of Baghdad
Hitchcock having two best picture nominees in the same year is funny. Has anyone else pulled that off before or since?

Everyone who has commented seems to like
My Favorite Wife
, so I guess I should probably look into that one.
"Praise be to Allah." - President Donald J. Trump, Easter Sunday 04/05/2026

My Favorite Wife - Garson Kanin
Good mention. This film was RKO's second-biggest hit of 1940, after
Kitty Foyle
. It would later be remade in 1963, as
Move Over, Darling
, starring Doris Day and James Garner. *They tried to remake it in 1962 (under the working title of
Something's Got to Give
), starring Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin, and Cyd Charisse, but then MM had to up and die before the film could be completed and, well, the rest is history as they say.

This is really getting into the golden years of Hollywood.
Looking at the original nominees list, I like
Rebecca
,
The Grapes of Wrath
, and
The Philadelphia Story
a lot - definite keepers. I like
Foreign Correspondent
and
The Long Voyage Home
.
From your list,
The Shop Around the Corner
is one of my favorites, and
His Girl Friday
is very good.
The Mortal Storm
is pretty good.
The Westerner
is one of my favorite Westerns.
The Sea Hawk
with Errol Flynn.
My Favorite Wife
with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne is amusing. I thought the earlier
Gaslight
was fairly good.
I Love You Again
is a nice screwball comedy. I really like
The Primrose Path
with Joel McCrea and Ginger Rogers. I remember liking
Contraband
(or
Blackout
) as an espionage movie (Powell and Pressburger). Lots of other good ones.
