Apr 11, 2021 2 mins, 6 secs
Nomadland director Chloé Zhao has won the marquee prize for Nomadland, marking the second time the DGA has given the guild’s top prize to a female director after Kathryn Bigelow for 2008’s The Hurt Locker.

The DGA has largely been a perfect bellwether in regards to who wins Best Director at the Oscars, veering only eight times in its 73-year history.

In fact, last year was a miss for the DGA in regards to correlating to the Oscars: While Sam Mendes won the DGA’s top award for 1917 last year, it was Bong Joon Ho who won Best Director at the Academy Awards for Parasite.

Previous years when the DGA didn’t line up with the Oscars include 1968 (DGA chose Anthony Harvey for Lion in Winter, Oscars chose Carol Reed for Oliver!), 1972 (DGA – Francis Ford Coppola for The Godfather, Oscars – Bob Fosse for Cabaret), 1985 (DGAs – Steven Spielberg for The Color Purple, Oscars – Sydney Pollack for Out of Africa), 1995 (DGAs- Ron Howard, Apollo 13: Oscars – Mel Gibson, Braveheart), 2000 (DGAs – Ang Lee for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Oscars- Steven Soderbergh for Traffic), 2002 (DGAs- Rob Marshall, Chicago, Oscars – Roman Polanski, The Pianist) and 2012 (DGAs- Ben Affleck, Argo, Oscars – Ang Lee, Life of Pi).

The film is nominated for six Oscars including Best Picture.

On the television side, Susanna Fogel took the Outstanding Directorial Achievement in a Comedy Series nod for The Flight Attendant, Lesli Linka Glatter took the drama series nod for Homeland and Scott Frank won for TV Movie/Limited Series for The Queen’s Gambit.

Thomas Schlamme took the Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Variety/Talk/News/Sports – Specials award for A West Wing Special to Benefit When We All Vote (HBO Max).

Frankish was honored with the Frank Capra achievement award, and associate director Joyce Thomas — who survived a life-threatening battle with coronavirus — received the Franklin J
