On Wednesday, the Directors Guild of America (DGA) announced its film nominations for the 2024 DGA Awards.
Nominees include Greta Gerwig (Barbie), Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Things), Christopher Nolan (Oppenheimer), Alexander Payne (The Holdovers) and Martin Scorsese (Killers of the Flower Moon).
Last year, female directors were notably shut out from the nominations, in a year where several awards contenders had female filmmakers. However, female directors fared much better in the first-time director category, with women picking up four of the five nominations.
The DGA announced its nominations for outstanding directing in television, commercials and documentaries on Tuesday. The winners in all categories will be revealed at the 76th Annual DGA Awards, which will take place on Feb. 10 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.
