The nominees there feature four of the five Oscar-nominated directors in One Battle After Another‘s Paul Thomas Anderson, Sinners‘ Ryan Coogler, Marty Supreme‘s Josh Safdie and Hamnet‘s Chloé Zhao. The other DGA nominee is Frankenstein‘s Guillermo del Toro, who lost out on the Oscar list to Sentimental Value‘s Joachim Trier.
Last year, the big DGA win went to Anora‘s Sean Baker, who went on to win Directing the Oscars along with that pic scoring Best Picture. Two years ago Christopher Nolan won at the DGAs ahead of picking up Best Director and Best Picture Oscars for Oppenheimer.
