DGA Announces Nominees for Outstanding Directorial Achievement
Today the Director's Guild of America has announced the five nominees for the DGA Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film for 2009. I think everyone that made the list definitely deserves the nomination, I can't really argue with them, all of the films are fantastic.
The Nominees are:
Kathryn Bigelow - The Hurt Locker
James Cameron - Avatar
Lee Daniels - Precious
Jason Reitman - Up in the Air
Quentin Tarantino - Inglourious Basterds
From the press release:
"The DGA award is especially meaningful to directors because it is decided solely by their peers - the men and women who have been in the same trenches and know exactly what goes into the crafting of a unique motion picture," said Hackford. "The five nominees for this year have each expressed an indelible vision that transported audiences to vivid vistas of cinematic art. My heartiest congratulations to all of the nominees."
The winner will be named at the 62nd Annual DGA Awards Dinner on Saturday, January 30, 2010, at the Hyatt Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles.
