Chloé Zhao, the Oscar-nominated director of "Nomadland," made history as she accepted the film award for outstanding directorial achievement at the 2021 Directors Guild of America Awards.
Zhao, 39, is the second woman to earn the honor (after Kathryn Bigelow for The Hurt Locker) and the first woman of color to do so. It all but solidifies her frontrunner status leading up to the Oscars on April 25.
"Sound of Metal" director Darius Marder won first-time feature film director. Documentarians Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw won for "The Truffle Hunters."
Usually held in a ballroom ceremony in Beverly Hills, this year's untelevised event was held virtually with nominees accepting awards over Zoom calls from around the world, featuring presentations by Tiffany Haddish, Bill Hader, Ava DuVernay, Spike Jonez, Sam Mendes and more.

(25,907 posts)1. I thought Nomadland was outstanding
I cant say I enjoyed it, because much of it was painful to watch, but it was still done very well.

The feel totally matched the subject matter. There were a lot of deserving candidates, by the way. Too bad they cant acknowledge the top three vote-getters.

(4,755 posts)3. My exact feelings.
There were several times during the movie that I almost turned it off because I found it so painful. I know this doesn't make any sense but it is the best movie that I have ever watched that I did not enjoy.
