On Robert Altman’s acceptance speech as an honorary awardee — "Making a film is like making a sand castle at the beach. You invite your friends and you get them down there, and you say you build this beautiful structure, several of you. Then you sit back and watch the tide come in. Have a drink, watch the tide come in, and the ocean just takes it away. And that sand castle remains in your mind."

Enough said.  He may have never won an Oscar, but I will have watched some of his thirty-seven films as a director, twenty-seven films as a producer and sixteen of them as a writer.
