Clayton Davis After a stampede of awards announcements that include ACE Eddies, Producers Guild and Writers Guild of America Awards, the prestigious Directors Guild of America Awards finally weighs in with their own set of nominees that recognizes achievements in directing.In the motion pictures category, the group nominated Kenneth Branagh for “Belfast” (Focus Features), Jane Campion for “The Power of the Dog” (Netflix), Paul Thomas Anderson for “Licorice Pizza” (MGM/United Artists Releasing), Steven Spielberg for “West Side Story” (20th Century Studios) and Denis Villeneuve for “Dune” (Warner Bros).Notable snubs included Joel Coen (“The Tragedy of Macbeth”), Adam McKay (“Don’t Look Up”), Siân Heder (“CODA”), Guillermo del Toro (“Nightmare Alley”) and Ryûsuke Hamaguchi (“Drive My Car”).
Campion is the second woman ever to receive a second nod from the Directors Guild. Her first came nearly 20 years ago for “The Piano” (1993), a precursor which that came before becoming the second woman ever nominated for best director at the Oscars.
Campion and “The Piano” ultimately lost to Steven Spielberg for “Schindler’s List,” who was vying for a spot for his musical remake of “West Side Story,” which ultimately missed out on a nod.Campion joins a tiny list of only 11 women nominated by the DGA for directing.
Last year had a record two women recognized with Emerald Fennell (“Promising Young Woman”) and Chloé Zhao (“Nomadland”), with the latter winning the DGA prize, and eventually the Oscar, only the second woman to win at the Academy Awards.
