Christopher Nolan, Greta Gerwig, and Martin Scorsese have emerged as top contenders for the Directors Guild of America (DGA) Awards, receiving nominations for its prestigious award. Their recognition follows closely on the heels of the Screen Actors Guild nominations announced earlier on Wednesday. The remaining contenders for the DGA's outstanding directorial achievement award are Alexander Payne for 'The Holdovers' and Yorgos Lanthimos for 'Poor Things.'
This marks Nolan's fifth DGA nomination, although he has yet to secure a win. He earned this nomination for his work on 'Oppenheimer.' Gerwig, nominated for 'Barbie,' had previously received a DGA nomination in 2017 for her film 'Lady Bird.' Scorsese's nomination for 'Killers of the Flower Moon' is an impressive feat, marking his 13th DGA nod. He has previously clinched two DGA wins, one for his film 'The Departed' in 2006 and another for his work on the TV series 'Boardwalk Empire.'
