Nominations for the Directors Guild of America’s feature-film award have been introduced on Wednesday, and although “Wicked” led the Screen Actors Guild nominations introduced simply hours earlier than, that movie’s director, Jon M. Chu, was nowhere to be discovered on this lineup.
The 5 administrators nominated for the highest DGA Award have been Jacques Audiard (“Emilia Pérez”), Sean Baker (“Anora”), Edward Berger (“Conclave”), Brady Corbet (“The Brutalist”) and James Mangold (“A Complete Unknown”).
Four of the 5 DGA nominees usually go on to obtain an Oscar nomination for finest director, although final 12 months, solely three made the reduce: The DGA nominees Greta Gerwig (“Barbie”) and Alexander Payne (“The Holdovers”) have been supplanted on the Oscars by Justine Triet (“Anatomy of a Fall”) and Jonathan Glazer (“The Zone of Interest”). That’s indicative of the most important break up between the guild and the academy: Though the DGA tends to favor big-studio filmmakers, the administrators department of the academy more and more leans towards extra worldwide picks.
With that in thoughts, contenders just like the French filmmaker Coralie Fargeat (“The Substance”) shouldn’t be counted out for an Oscar nomination. But it’s a nasty signal for Chu and the “Dune: Part Two” director Denis Villeneuve: If their very own guild wasn’t prepared to appoint their blockbuster work, the extra intellectual academy voters aren’t prone to show extra amenable.
