The Directors Guild of America has unveiled the television and documentary nominations for its 75th anniversary DGA Awards, which will be handed out next month.
The helmers vying for Dramatic Series are Jason Bateman (Ozark), Vince Gilligan (Better Call Saul), Sam Levinson (Euphoria), Aoife McArdle (Severance) and Ben Stiller (also Severance). Up for Comedy Series are Tim Burton (Wednesday), Bill Hader (Barry), Amy Sherman-Palladino (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Christopher Storer (The Bear) and Mike White (The White Lotus).
Last year’s Dramatic Series winner, Succession, didn’t air any episodes in 2022 and therefore isn’t eligible, and the defending Comedy Series champ, Hacks, didn’t make this year’s list. Saturday Night Live, whose Don Roy King won the DGA Award last year,is back in the running for Variety/Talk/News/Sports – Regularly Scheduled Programming; this time Liz Patrick is the nominee.
In the Movies for TV/Limited Series category revealed today, nominees are Eric Appel (Weird: The Al Yankovic Story), Deborah Chow (Obi-Wan Kenobi), Jeremy Podeswa (Station Eleven), Helen Shaver (also Station Eleven) and Tom Verica (Inventing Anna).
