1905 Film Network News As the awards season progressed, the various union awards also gave their own lists of nominations. Among them, the highly concerned Directors Guild Awards have also recently announced the list of nominations, and in the end, films such as "Licorice Pizza", "Dog Power", "West End Story", "Dune" and so on have been nominated for best theatrical film director.
In terms of the best debut, the collective explosion of female directors is gratifying. People such as Maggie Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Hall, Emma Seligman and Tatiana Wezzo were all recognized for their nominations. Coupled with Jane Campion in theatrical films, it can be said that this is the first time that a female director has occupied half of the nomination list for the award, and it is also a victory for female filmmakers. With the deepening of the changes in Hollywood, I believe that in the next few years, more and more female directors will be nominated for this award.
The Directors Guild of America (DGA) is a director's guild covering the arts of American film, television, stage drama, radio and other arts. The union's predecessor, the Screen Directors Guild, was founded in 1938. It is worth mentioning that since nearly 40% of the Oscar voters in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are from the Directors Guild, the Directors Guild's choice of the best director of the year has become the best weather vane for the Oscars. In 65 years of history, it is a miracle that only six Directors Guild Award winners have not won the Oscars.
