1905 Movie News Recently, the 76th Directors Guild of America Awards (DGA) announced the nomination list. "Barbie", "Poor Things", "Oppenheimer", "Stay in School" and "Killers of the Flower Moon" were all nominated.
The most noteworthy among the nominated films is "Killers of the Flower Moon", which is directed by Martin Scorsese and is very likely to be nominated for another Oscar. "Killers of the Flower Moon" has received pretty good reviews, with a 92% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an A- on CinemaScore. This rating is consistent with "The Departed" and "Goodfellas." It can be called the pinnacle of Scorsese's career.
The Directors Guild of America was founded in 1938. This year, the Screen Directors Guild awarded its first honorary lifetime membership certificate to D.W. Griffith, the most pioneering director in film history. It is worth mentioning that because among members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, nearly 40% of Oscar voters come from the Directors Guild, so the Directors Guild’s selection of the best director of the year has become the best indicator of the Oscars. In the 65-year history, only six Directors Guild Award winners failed to win the Oscar Director Award, which is really no small miracle.
