The Winners of the 77th Annual Directors Guild of America Awards

The Directors Guild of America (DGA) has just finished handing out their awards for 2024, with the somewhat surprising result of Sean Baker receiving their top award for "Anora." Statistically, this makes him the new frontrunner, but he still has to face some very strong competition from Brady Corbet for the Oscar, so we'll just have to see which way the Producers Guild leans to get a better picture of where things may be headed.
