The Directors Guild of America has announced the winners of this year’s DGA Awards. As expected, Chloé Zhao continued her incredible awards season run with a win for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Theatrical Feature Film for Nomadland, while Darius Marder took out the First-Time Feature Film category for his directorial debut Sound of Metal. In the documentary category, Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw were awarded for The Truffle Hunters, which is not nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the Academy Awards, meaning their win won’t help your final Oscar predictions.
