Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert win the DGA’s top prize, an Oscar bellwether for Everything Everywhere All at Once
FirstpostKwan and Scheinert, the filmmaking pair known as “The Daniels,” are just the third duo to win the DGA’s top award, following Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins for “West Side Story” and Joel Coen and Ethan Coen for “No Country for Old Men”. The Directors Guild of America handed its top prize for feature filmmaking to Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert for “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” putting them on course to win at the Academy Awards next month. The 75th annual DGA Awards, held at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, on Saturday evening, denied Steven Spielberg a record-extending four wins for the guild’s top honor. Spielberg had once been expected to cruise through awards season with his autobiographical “ The Fabelmans,” but the strong affection for “ Everything Everywhere All at Once ” — the Oscar favorite with a leading 11 nominations — has come to dominate Hollywood’s Oscar run-up.
