DGA Awards Winners List – Updating Live

The 75th annual Directors Guild Awards are being handed out at the Beverly Hilton, and Deadline is updating the winners as they are announced. Check out the list below.

After two consecutive years awarding female directors its top prize (Jane Campion and Chloé Zhao) and watching them go on to take the corresponding Oscar, the Director’s Guild of America nominated a slate of men for its top prize this year. Despite strong work from Sarah Polley for Women Talking and Gina Prince-Bythewood for her epic The Woman King — not to mention Chinonye Chukwu and Maria Schrader name for the likes of Till and She Said — none of them were voted onto the list.

Some other eyebrow-raising omissions included James Cameron for Avatar: The Way of Water and Elvis helmer Baz Luhrmann. Both created highly popular films and received Globe and Critics Choice nominations.

While women were shut out of the marquee race, the DGA nominated four for its First-Time Feature Film Prize: Alice Diop (Saint Omer), Audrey Diwan (Happening), Antoneta Alamat Kusijanovic (Murina) and Charlotte Wells (Aftersun). John Patton Ford also is nominated, for Emily the Criminal.

The DGA is a strong predictor of Oscar success historically, missing the eventual Best Director winner only eight times in 74 years. Last year, the guild awarded Jane Campion its top film prize for The Power of the Dog, which marked a big step on her path to winning Best Director at the Oscars. Maggie Gyllenhaal won for First Time Feature for The Lost Daughter, while Stanley Nelson took the Documentary prize for Attica.

Last year’s Dramatic Series winner, Succession, didn’t air any episodes in 2022 and therefore isn’t eligible, and the defending Comedy Series champ, Hacks, didn’t make this year’s list. Saturday Night Live, whose Don Roy King won the DGA Award last year, is back in the running for Variety/Talk/News/Sports – Regularly Scheduled Programming; this time Liz Patrick is the nominee.

Here’s the list of individual winners IN CAPS so far, followed by the remaining nominees:
