The DGA will no longer consider day and date releases for top prize
The Directors Guild of America has done what the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recently declined to do: created a new rule to make it harder for 'day and date' releases — as in, films that are not given a theatrical run prior to hitting a streaming service, as is the case for many titles that Netflix has heretofore pushed for accolades — from competing for its top awards season honor.
The DGA's National Board unanimously approved of the change "in recognition of the unique cultural importance of the theatrical experience to audiences and filmmakers alike," the guild said in a statement. Every title heretofore nominated nominated for the prize, which was until now known as "Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film," would have qualified under the new rule — including Netflix'swon the top prize at the 71st DGA Awards earlier this year, as it received a more substantial theatrical release than most titles from the streamer.
Day and date releases will still be eligible in the category of Outstanding First-Time Feature Film Award. All other feature film eligibility requirements remain the same for the 72nd DGA Awards.
