The New York Times••general
Key Points:
- The Directors Guild of America (DGA) announced its feature-film directing nominations, highlighting Paul Thomas Anderson for "One Battle After Another" and Ryan Coogler for "Sinners."
- Other nominees include Guillermo del Toro for "Frankenstein," Josh Safdie for "Marty Supreme," and Chloé Zhao for "Hamnet."
- Historically, most DGA nominees also receive Oscar nominations, though exceptions occur when the Academy favors independent or international filmmakers over studio directors.
- This year’s Oscar race may still see additional global directors like Jafar Panahi ("It Was Just an Accident") and Joachim Trier ("Sentimental Value") recognized despite their absence from the DGA list.
