ReelzChannel Awards Watch: DGA Directors Guild of America

Directors Guild of America Awards

Back in 1948, the President of the Screen Directors Guild, George Marshall, started the award program by giving out awards on a quarterly basis, culminating in a final winner for the entire year. While no director denies that attending four awards shows is more fun than attending just one, today the renamed “Directors Guild of America” has only one awards show annually, but with expanded categories–documentaries, television commercials, and of course, the highest honor - the Lifetime Achievement Award. This year the DGA Awards celebrate their 60th Anniversary. Welcome to the party!

Nominees announced: January 8 th, 2008
Ceremony: January 26th, 2008
