Michael Curtiz, director of such films as Casablanca and Yanky Doodle Dandy, made 173 movies. His early work was done under the pseudonyms Mihály Kertész and Kertész Mihály. This answer is not definite.
If I understand the question correctly it's: Who directed the most movies that won an Oscar for Best Picture? And the answer would be: William Wyler is the only director to have directed 3 movies that won Best Picture. They are: Mrs. Miniver (1942), The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) and Ben-Hur (1959). He won an Oscar as director for all three.

^correction^ **Titanic was directed by Cameron, not Spielberg.**
The most successful director is Steven Spielberg: he earns over $300,000,000 yearly from his efforts not only as a director but as a producer and writer as well. Success does not always go with talent; it does for Spielberg, but for directors such as Martin Scorsese critical acclaim is not hardly synonymous for profit. In terms of recognition and prestige, perhaps Scorsese is a very successful director. But in terms of profits most of his films drew little dough at the box office. Luckily, two of his latest films The Departed and Gangs of New York have helped his finances some.
Nevertheless, Spielberg is and always will be the king of profit.
Spencer Gordon Bennet (Brooklyn, New York, 5 January 1893 - Santa Monica, California, 8 October 1987), was known as the "King of Serial Directers". He directed more film serials than anybody else. In www.imdb.com, there are one hundred-twenty-one titles of films he directed from 1921 to 1974. When he died in 1987, his tombstone was engraved "His Final Chapter". Alan Rafkin, for example, directed "only" 82 films listed in www.imdb.com Buzz Kulik was also "one of the most prolific and respected directors of television productions" (The Washington Post), but probably the most prolific was the "King of Serial Directers". Richard Flescher (December 8, 1916 - March 25, 2006) was once called "the most prolificand least identifiable director in America" (after film historian David Thomson) Sources:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spencer_Gordon_Bennet http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-577061.html (Obituary of Buzz Kulik in The Washington Post) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0706347/ http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=5912060 (Spencer Gordon Bennet at Find A Grave) http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-111627.html (Obituary of Richard Fleischer)

It depends on what you mean by bad. By definition, bad movies do not win Oscars.

Many winners have not collected their awards, for various reasons, including protest and the simple inability to make it to the show, but the most notorious for this is Woody Allen, who has been nominated many times (winning three times), but has attended the show only twice.
