The nomination for Lee Daniels also represents the first time ever an African-American has been nominated for the DGA award. And Kathryn Bigelow is only the seventh woman to receive a nod since the award first began going out in 1948. Good for them, especially Daniels (even if I’d say he’s the weak link of the five).
Winners of the DGA award will be announced on January 30th.
