Nottata interessante quella appena passata, a confermarlo i tanti premi cinematografici assegnati dalle varie associazioni hollywoodiane. Si parte dai premi assegnati dalla Directors Guild of America (DGA).

L’associazione dei registi ha scelto Sam Mendes come Miglior Regista per il dramma storico 1917. La sua vittoria è un vero e proprio monito verso la medesima categoria agli Oscar 2020. 20 anni fa il regista vinse i DGA Awards con American Beauty, trionfando poi anche agli Oscar.

Il premio al Regista Esordiente è andato a Alma Har’el per Honey Boy, mentre la Regia Documentaristica ha visto trionfare Steven Bognar e Julia Reichert per American Factory.
