Christopher Nolan, as expected, wins the big prize at last night's DGA Awards

The Directors Guild of America honored their best and brightest from calendar year 2023 yesterday evening and Nolan was the big winner, taking home the award for Directing Feature Film for the first time in his career.

“Oppenheimer” director Christopher Nolan, Christopher Storer of FX’s “The Bear” and Peter Hoar of HBO’s “The Last of Us” were the top winners Saturday night at the Directors Guild of America‘s 76th annual DGA Awards.
The DGA win seals Nolan’s frontrunner position to land the director Oscar at the March 10 Academy Awards. Celine Song took home the DGA medallion for first-time director for her much-praised A24 drama “Past Lives.” “Guys, this is so amazing,” Song told the crowd.
Judd Apatow hosted the three-hour ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The multi-hyphenate opened his monologue with a zinger rooted in the DGA’s image as being friendly with the studio CEOs and its history of never mounting a significant strike against Hollywood’s major studios. Apatow joked that his agents told him to hold out for more money for his fifth time as host of the DGA ceremony. “But in the spirit of the DGA I accepted their first offer,” he said.

Yep, and unlike some directors who have won the Oscar as a career award rather than for delivering the best directorial performance of the year (looking at Martin Scorsese and The Departed), Nolan most likely did the best work of his career thus far with Oppenheimer.

IMO, this Oscar should be his second or third after TDK and Inception.
He’s massively overdue.

Marty should’ve had like 3 Best Director Oscars before The Departed.

It's a little silly that he never won before The Departed. You can even argue he is due a second Oscar more than Nolan is due a first. That being said, Nolan outdid him this year.

I just leaned this recently but the DGA has a podcast. Only listened to one episode but pretty interesting
