    ‘The Power of the Dog’ and ‘The Lost Daughter’ Just Made Award History

History was made at the Directors Guild of America Awards on March 12, thanks to The Power of the Dog and The Lost Daughter. Jane Campion took home the award for outstanding directorial achievement in theatrical feature film for The Power of the Dog while Maggie Gyllenhaal received the title of outstanding directorial achievement in first-time feature film for The Lost Daughter. As noted by Netflix’s Queue, these victories officially mark the first time in DGA history that both awards were won by women. What’s more, Campion is only the third woman to receive DGA’s theatrical feature film award, and the second woman to be given two nods from the Director’s Guild (her first was for The Piano in 1993). 

Both Campion and Gyllenhaal have been racking up award nominations and wins this season for their directorial achievements. Campion recently took home the BAFTA Film Award for best director as well as the Critics Choice Award for her direction and adapted screenplay of The Power of the Dog, and she’s nominated for best adapted screenplay, best achievement in directing and best picture at this year’s Academy Awards as well. Campion is predicted to smash additional award records, should she take home even one of the three Oscars later this month.

Similarly, Gyllenhaal’s first directing credit has landed her wins from the Independent Spirit Awards and the Toronto Film Critics Association, as well as nominations from the Academy Awards, Hollywood Critics Association and Golden Globes.

In addition to Campion and Gyllenhaal’s directorial wins, there were a few other nods for both titles at this weekend’s award shows. The Power of the Dog took home BAFTA’s best picture honor and was also named the best film of the year by the Critics Choice Awards, along with best cinematography (Ari Wegner). The Lost Daughter saw another win at the Irish Film & Drama Awards, with Jessie Buckley taking home the award for best supporting actress.

There were several other major Netflix wins this weekend; The Mitchells vs. The Machines took home eight awards at Saturday’s Annie Awards, while Arcane received nine. Maya and the Three was given two accolades at the Annies, and Ada Twist, Scientist took home one award as well. The Mitchells vs. The Machines clinched best animated feature at the Critics Choice Awards, while Arcane was recognized again at Sunday’s Motion Picture Sound Editors Golden Reel Awards, along with The Witcher and Love, Death + Robots. The Critics Choice Awards also saw nods for Squid Game (best foreign language series and best actor in a drama series, Lee Jung-jae) and Bo Burnham: Inside (best comedy special), while the BAFTA Awards recognized Jeymes Samuel in the outstanding debut by a British writer, director or producer award for The Harder They Fall.

Next up is the 94th Academy Awards, so make sure you brush up on all the nominated titles with a movie night and then tune into the ceremony on March 27, at 5 p.m. PST / 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
