The Directors Guild of America were set to reveal all of their 2020 television nominees today, but sometimes clerical error gets in the way.
They DGA has done what no other film award association has done this year and that’s respecting female directors. In the Movies for Television and Limited Series category, Ava DuVernay, Jessica Yu and Minkie Spiro all earned nominations for “When They See Us” and “Fosse/Verdon,” which was deserving.
The DGA Awards will be handed out on Jan. 25.
