Steven Soderbergh won an Academy Award for Best Director for his 2000 ensemble drama Traffic. He had earned dual Best Director Oscar nominations that year, also receiving one for Erin Brockovich, starring Julia Roberts in her Oscar-winning performance. Soderbergh had earlier gained an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay for sex, lies, and videotape, which marked his feature film directorial debut. The film also won the Palme d'Or at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival.

Ocean's Thirteen is Soderbergh's seventeenth film, also including The Good German, Bubble, Ocean's Twelve, Solaris, Full Frontal, Ocean's Eleven, The Limey, Out of Sight, Gray's Anatomy, Schizopolis, The Underneath, King of the Hill and Kafka.

He also wrote, directed, photographed and edited Equilibrium, starring Alan Arkin, Robert Downey Jr. and Ele Keats, which was one of a trio of short eroticism¬themed films released as Eros. Michelangelo Antonioni and Wong Kar-wai directed the other two segments. The film had its premiere at the 2004 Venice Film Festival.

In addition, Soderbergh has produced or executive produced a wide range of features. His credits as a producer include John Maybury's The Jacket, starring Adrien Brody and Keira Knightley; Lodge Kerrigan's Keane, which played at the Telluride, Toronto and New York Film Festivals; Gregory Jacob's directorial debut, Criminal, with John C.
