\tAs Natalie Portman famously pointed out at the Golden Globes in 2018, \u201chere are the all-male nominees\u201d for the 2023 Directors Guild of America Awards.<\/p>\n

\n

\tIn the main category for feature film, the group nominated Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert(\u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once\u201d), Todd Field (\u201cT\u00e1r\u201d), Joseph Kosinski (\u201cTop Gun: Maverick\u201d), Martin McDonagh (\u201cThe Banshees of Inisherin\u201d) and Steven Spielberg (\u201cThe Fabelmans\u201d).<\/p>\n

\n

\tDespite critically acclaimed movies from female directors like Sarah Polley (\u201cWomen Talking\u201d), Gina Prince-Bythewood (\u201cThe Woman King\u201d), Chinonye Chukwu (\u201cTill\u201d) and Maria Schrader (\u201cShe Said\u201d), the DGA voters failed to recognize their achievements. This comes after the Golden Globes gave Spielberg its directing prize on Tuesday, where no women were nominated. <\/p>\n

\n

\tAlso missing from the lineup are James Cameron for \u201cAvatar: The Way of Water\u201d and Baz Luhrmann for \u201cElvis,\u201d both considered very competitive in the directing races. <\/p>\n

\n

\tWhile the DGA fumbled in the top category, they made up for it in the first-time feature category led by Charlotte Wells (\u201cAftersun\u201d), considered the frontrunner after leading the precursors. Also included were Alice Diop (\u201cSaint Omer\u201d), Audrey Diwan (\u201cHappening\u201d), John Patton Ford (\u201cEmily the Criminal\u201d) and Antoneta Alamat Kusijanovi\u0107 (\u201cMurina\u201d).<\/p>\n

\n

\tThere have been 11 women previously nominated for first-time directors: Alma Har’el (\u201cHoney Boy\u201d), Radha Blank (\u201cThe Forty-Year-Old Version\u201d), Regina King (\u201cOne Night in Miami\u201d), Marielle Heller (\u201cThe Diary of a Teenage Girl\u201d), Kelly Fremon Craig (\u201cThe Edge of Seventeen\u201d), Mati Diop (\u201cAtlantics\u201d), Melina Matsoukas (\u201cQueen & Slim\u201d), Maggie Gyllenhaal (\u201cThe Lost Daughter\u201d ), Rebecca Hall (\u201cPassing\u201d), Tatiana Huezo (\u201cPrayers for the Stolen\u201d) and Emma Seligman (\u201cShiva Baby\u201d). This year, there could be upwards of three or four females leading their male counterparts for the first time in the category.<\/p>\n

\n

\tSnubbed from the first-time directing race was Elegance Bratton for his personal LGBTQ drama \u201cThe Inspection\u201d and BJ Novak for his comedy-thriller \u201cVengeance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tThe Directors Guild previously announced its nominees for television, led by \u201cStation Eleven\u201d from HBO, \u201cSeverance\u201d from Apple TV+ and \u201cThe Daily Show\u201d from Comedy Central. <\/p>\n

\n

\tThis year’s DGA Awards will take place on Feb. 18 at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. <\/p>\n
