It was a monumental night for women directors everywhere when Kathryn Bigelow became the first female director to take home the DGA’s award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film for The Hurt Locker. It’s an accolade that bodes well for an Oscar win, as the DGA Award and Oscar winner for Best Director have differed only six times since the DGA Award’s inception in 1948.

Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film: Kathryn Bigelow, The Hurt Locker
Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Movies for Television/Mini-Series: Ross Katz, Taking Chance
