After two consecutive years in which women were excluded from the feature film category entirely, this year’s lineup of Directors Guild Awards nominees includes two, a new record that also marks the first time two women will compete against one another in the category.
Chloé Zhao (“Nomadland”) and Emerald Fennell (“Promising Young Woman”) have been nominated this year alongside Lee Isaac Chung (“Minari”), David Fincher (“Mank”) and Aaron Sorkin (“The Trial of the Chicago 7 ).
Last month, Zhao took home the director prize at the Golden Globes for “Nomadland,” which also won the award for best picture, drama. She was the first woman of Asian descent and just the second female director to do so.
