The other directors nominated by the DGA for its top prize this year were Martin Scorsese ('Killers of the Flower Moon'), Greta Gerwig ('Barbie'), Yorgos Lanthimos ('Poor Things') and Alexander Payne ('The Holdovers'). Greta, seen here with 'Barbie' actor Ryan Gosling, did not address the Oscars controversy Saturday, saying only that recognition “in the company of my heroes” at the DGA gala meant “more to me than I can ever say.”
