Of these, I'd say either 'Witness' or 'Dead Poets Society.' I still haven't seen The Truman Show. So many movies, so little time, lol.

Witness or The Truman Show are the only movies directed by him I did watch, but they both deserve the Oscar

I don't think he should have won any of these categories, as there was a better, more deserving nominee in every category. I think the Dead Poet Society was his most competitive race and his strongest nomination though. FYC, You can't really ask if should have won without knowing who and which movies he was competing against.
I think you should split the #5. Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World Best Director & Best Picture nominations into two options, the slot gets the votes, not the title, so you can use the same movie twice.
5. Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
Best Director nomination
6. Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
Best Picture nomination
