DGA Nominations Hold Four Expected Picks And One Surprise

08 Jan DGA Nominations Hold Four Expected Picks And One Surprise

The Directors Guild nominations gave nods to Bong Joon-Ho, Sam Mendes, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, and Taika Waititi. Waititi’s, the director of Jojo Rabbit, nomination shows that there is a lot of love in the industry for Jojo Rabbit and that could help it get more nominations than what was initially expected of it. (Maybe nods in Supporting Actress, Production Design, Costume Design, Score, Editing, or even Director)
