“Nomadland” Director Chloe Zhao Wins Directors Guild Award as She, Film Head to Oscars Sweep

Share

Saturday night, Chloe Zhao won the DGA Award for directing “Nomadland.” Now she and the movie —  with the Producers Guild Award and the Golden Globes, etc — are set to sweep the Oscars.

If only people were seeing “Nomadland” and we had a way of knowing it. Alas, no one knows where it’s playing, if it’s playing, and what the box office is. But hey– it’s an unusual year.

Here are all the DGA winners. Congrats to “Homeland,” which hasn’t been on the air for a year. And also to Betty Thomas, who I loved on “Hill Street Blues” and turned out to be a fine director.
