“In a year full of excellent films, DGA members have nominated a stellar group of passionate filmmakers,” said DGA President Barclay. “Inspiring and artistic, these five directors made films that left an indelible impact not only on their fellow directors and members of the director’s team, but on audiences around the world. Congratulations to all of the nominees for their terrific work.”
