Sono state annunciate oggi le nomination relative ai DGA Awards 2021 (Directors Guild of America), ovvero i premi assegnati dall’associazione americana dei registi.

Come sempre considerati enormemente influenti in vista delle nomination dell’Academy, i DGA Awards quest’anno hanno messo in lizza per il premio finale anche due registe (Chloé Zhao e Emerald Fennell), andando così a spazzare via le polemiche che hanno caratterizzato la scorsa edizione, ovvero quando nessuna donna fu nominata dal sindacato.

Dopo questo ultimo passaggio attraverso i sindacati hollywoodiani, è ora tempo di spingere l’attenzione verso l’Academy, il cui ruolino di marcia prevede oggi la chiusura delle votazioni, con conseguente annuncio delle nomination il prossimo 15 marzo.
