LOS ANGELES, CA Nomadland director Chloe Zhao padded her Oscar credentials with yet another honor the Directors Guild of America award for feature film.
She becomes just the second woman to win the DGA s top prize, following Kathryn Bigelow, who won for 2008 s The Hurt Locker. Bigelow went on to win the Oscar for Best Director that year, the first and only woman to win that honor.
Zhao has already won Golden Globe and Critics Choice awards for her work on Nomadland, and winning the DGA Award would almost cement an Academy Awards victory at the end of the month.
The Directors Guild of America made history Saturday night, giving the group’s top prize for feature-film directing to Chloé Zhao (‘Nomadland’), the first woman of colour to receive the award and only the second woman ever to win in the category, after Kathryn Bigelow (‘The Hurt Locker’).
Zhao was considered the heavy favorite after a dominant awards-season run for her film that has also included top honors at the Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards and Producers Guild Awards, and she will now enter Oscar night as the prohibitive front-runner, since the DGA winner has won the best-director Oscar 13 of the last 15 times.
