75th DGA Awards set key dates, February 2023 for ceremony
The Directors Guild of America (DGA) today announced the schedule of key dates for the 75th Annual DGA Awards, which will take place on Saturday, February 18, 2023 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
Theatrical Feature Film and First-Time Feature Film nominees will be announced on Wednesday, January 11, 2023, the day before the Producers Guild reveals their nominations. Television, Commercial, and Documentary nominees will be announced on Tuesday, January 10, 2023.
The ceremony takes place the same night as the Art Directors Guild awards and three weeks before of the Oscars, which are set for March 12. Last year, Jane Campion won the DGA Award for feature film for The Power of the Dog, then went on to win the Oscar. Chloé Zhao had won both the year prior, making it the first time in DGA and Oscar history that a woman had won director honors two years in a row.
