‘Game of Thrones’ & ‘Watchmen’ Lead the DGA Awards TV Nominations
HBO is leading the way for the Director’s Guild of America television nominees for their 2020 awards ceremony coming in late January. The cable channel is king with five shows nominated across the drama and comedy categories, with Game of Thrones and Watchmen scooping up the majority of nominations.
The categories included in this latest release of nominees include Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Television Dramatic Series, Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Television Comedy Series, and Variety/Talk/News/Sports – Specials for 2019. The nominees listed are the episode directors but the teams who helped make their episode a success are also included in the nominations list. The categories are fairly trim, with five nominees per category.

HBO completely dominates the Drama Series category, with directors Miguel Sapochnik and David Nutter each scoring nominations for their work on respective mid-season Game of Thrones episodes “The Long Night” and “The Last of the Starks”. Those episodes center on the story-defining battle at Winterfell and its aftermath and are among those favorite episodes of the show’s fans. Additional drama nominees include Nicole Kassell and Stephen Williams for their work on Watchmen as well as Mark Mylod for his direction of the Season 2 finale of Succession.
Meanwhile, Amazon Prime Video is the leader in the Comedy Series category with award show fave The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel dominating. Three of the five nominees — Dan Attias, Amy Sherman Palladino, and Daniel Palladino — each earned nominations for their work of a respective Season 3 episode. Additional nominees in the comedy category include Bill Hader for his work on Barry and David Mandel for the series finale episode of Veep.
The winners in each category will be announced during the DGA Awards, set to take place on January 25 in Los Angeles. For more, check out the list of DGA Awards nominees for feature films.
