The competition still has a chance, but it's rare for the DGA winner to not get the Oscar
We’re still about a month away from the Academy Awards, but Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan can probably start clearing some shelf space next to his new Golden Globes and that WGA award he won for Inception a decade ago. That’s because he took the top prize—Outstanding Directorial Achievement In Theatrical Feature Film—at last night’s Directors Guild Of America awards, which pretty much makes him a lock for the Best Director Oscar as well.
Assuming he wins, then, this will be Nolan’s first Oscar, which also seems like a narrative that the Motion Picture Academy would get a kick out of—though it would be a first Oscar for everyone but Martin Scorsese this year, so that probably doesn’t mean a whole lot.
