La La Land type Movie

La La Land continued its charmed run through awards season, this time at the Directors Guild of America Awards. There, Damien Chazelle claimed the top prize, winning Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film for the modern-day musical about two aspiring artists falling in love.

“This was a movie that was truly a team effort,” Chazelle said while accepting the DGA award, before thanking his cast, crew, and others. “I want to thank my fellow nominees and thank all the filmmakers who are in for being the reason I’m here today, for inspiring me since I can remember.” Garth Davis (Lion), Barry Jenkins (Moonlight), Kenneth Lonergan (Manchester by the Sea), and Denis Villeneuve (Arrival) were also nominated in the feature film category. All but Davis are nominated in the Oscars’ Best Director category.

Nine of the last 10 DGA Award winners have gone on to take home an Academy Award for their work, with the lone exception being Ben Affleck for Argo. (Affleck was famously snubbed in the Best Director category that year.)
