Directors Guild Awards 2024 Winners List (Updating Live)

Lights. Camera. Awards! The Directors Guild of America is honoring the filmmaking talent of the year with the 76th edition of the DGA Awards. The ceremony begins at 7:30 p.m. PT at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.

This year’s crop for outstanding directorial achievement in theatrical feature film display a typical who’s-who of the awards race, with Christopher Nolan (“Oppenheimer”), Yorgos Lanthimos (“Poor Things”) and Martin Scorsese (“Killers of the Flower Moon”) among the five nominees. The two others that could also take home gold, Greta Gerwig (“Barbie”) and Alexander Payne (“The Holdovers”), are not nominated in the category of best director at the coming Oscars. The Academy instead opted to hand nods to two filmmakers behind foreign-language productions: Justine Triet (“Anatomy of a Fall”) and Jonathan Glazer (“The Zone of Interest”).

On the TV front, “Succession” leads the competition with four nominations, while other heavyweights include “The Last of Us” and “Ted Lasso.”

Judd Apatow returns to host the DGA Awards after fronting the ceremony last year.
