Just a quick awards season update as the Directors' Guild Awards (DGAs) were handed out yesterday (Saturday 3rd February). The film winners are:
Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Films: Guillermo del Toro (The Shape Of Water)
Outstanding Directorial Achievement of a First-Time Feature Film Director: Jordan Peele (Get Out)
Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Movies for Television and Miniseries: Jean-Marc Vallee (Big Little Lies)
Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Documentary: Matthew Heineman (City Of Ghosts)
I don't think anyone is massively surprised by this- this is a major step forward for del Toro taking home the Oscar (especially as his closest rival- Martin McDonagh- wasn't nominated). Good to see Jordan Peele get some recognition for Get Out too.
Next in awards season will be the Writers' Guild (WGA) Awards next Sunday (11th February).
