Why didn´t Ridley won best director?


Honestly why?
It always seem so weird when the award goes to the film but not its director...and the other way around too...
I just don´t understand the concept...How can movie be basically better then its director when without him the movie would not be as good :D

Please shine some light on my confused mind....

He didnt win best director, because the award for best picture shouldnt have gone to this film either. Traffic or Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon shouldve won, much better films.
