La Directors Guild of America ha scelto i cinque migliori registi dell’anno. Di solito rispetto agli Oscar manca qualche regista internazionale – non questa volta – ma l’approssimazione è molto vicina alla cinquina degli Academy Awards.
I candidati sono il francese Jaques Audiard, Sean Baker, Brady Corpet, James Mangold e il tedesco Edward Berger.
Nessuna donna candidata.
Di seguito tutte le crew e anche i cinque registi esordienti.
