The Directors Guild has raised the curtain on the film nominees for its 72nd annual DGA Awards.
Vying for the marquee Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film prize are Bong Joon Ho (Parasite), newly minted Golden Globe winner Sam Mendes (1917), Quentin Tarantino (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Martin Scorsese (The Irishman) and Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit).
“In a year full of excellent films, DGA members have chosen an extraordinary group of filmmakers to nominate for this year’s Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Theatrical Feature Film Award,” Directors Guild President Thomas Schlamme said. “These directors represent the highest standard of filmmaking, and their films are a testament to innovative storytelling, artistic achievement and the passion that filmmakers share with their audiences. Being nominated by their peers is what makes this award particularly meaningful for directors, and I congratulate all of the nominees for their outstanding work.”
Notably absent from the list are Pedro Almodóvar (Pain and Glory), Todd Phillips (Joker), Clint Eastwood (Richard Jewell), James Mangold (Ford v Ferrari) and Rian Johnson (Knives Out).
While no women made the Feature Film noms list, female filmmakers are well represented in the First-Time Feature category. The rookies vying for that prize are Mati Diop (Atlantics), Alma Ha’rel (Honey Boy), Melina Matsoukas (Queen & Slim), Tyler Nilson & Mike Schwartz (The Peanut Butter Falcon) and Joe Talbot (The Last Black Man in San Francisco).
The winners in all categories, along with the TV nominees revealed Monday and the others to be announced Friday, will be honored January 25 in a ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton in downtown Los Angeles.
