Awards Season 2019: Directors' Guild Awards (DGA) Winners


This is just a quick awards season update, as the Directors' Guild Awards (DGAs) were handed out over this past weekend (Saturday 2nd February). The film winners are:

Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Films: Alfonso Cuarón (Roma)

Outstanding Directorial Achievement of a First-Time Feature Film Director: Bo Burnham (Eighth Grade)

Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Movies for Television and Miniseries: Ben Stiller (Escape At Dannemora)

Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Documentary: Tim Wardle (Three Identical Strangers)


Cuarón can add the DGA to his Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award for directing and I'm fairly certain this all but seals the Oscar win. He wasn't nominated for the BAFTA or Independent Spirit Awards for directing, but the DGA win is a pretty good bellwether. 

Congratulations to all winners!

Next in awards season will be the 2019 BAFTA Film Awards, which will be handed out this coming Sunday (10th February)
