The top prize at the recently concluded Directors Guild of America awards – that of the Best Theatrical Feature was bagged by \u2018The Daniels\u2019 – Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the duo behind the sci-fi comedy \u2018Everything Everywhere All at Once\u2019.
\u2018The Daniels\u2019 became the third directing duo ever to win, reports \u2018Variety\u2019.
\u2018The Daniels\u2019 beat out Steven Spielberg, who holds the record for the most nominations and wins, at 13 and three, respectively.
Spielberg was gunning for his fourth trophy, for the semi-autobiographical \u2018The Fabelmans\u2019.
\u201cThis has been an incredible year for our little film that somehow keeps going,\u201d Kwan said, quoted by \u2018Variety\u2019.
This was the first DGA Award nomination for the filmmakers. The DGA boasts a voting body of around 19,000 members. Over its 75-year history, the DGA Awards has been the most reliable barometer for the Oscars\u2019 best director prize.
Only eight DGA winners have failed to walk away with the Academy Award, most recently Sam Mendes (1917), who lost to Bong Joon Ho (Parasite) in 2020.
\u2018Euphoria\u2019 executive producer and director Sam Levinson won the award for dramatic series.
\u201cI couldn\u2019t be more grateful for the ability to do this job,\u201d Levinson said.
This was Levinson\u2019s first DGA Award nomination and first win.
Bill Hader won the comedy award for directing the \u2018Barry\u2019 episode \u2018710N\u2019. This is his third DGA award, having also won the category in 2019 and 2020.
In the limited series\/TV movie category, Helen Shaver won for \u2018Station Eleven\u2019. Having started her career as an actor, Shaver recounted her journey to becoming a director.
\u2018Variety\u2019 further states that in the first-time theatrical feature film category, which was renamed this year in honour of legendary filmmaker Michael Apted, \u2018Aftersun\u2019 director Charlotte Wells won the award.
