See: Hollywood director Christopher Nolan takes home the prize and all the action at the DGA awards

Once again, Hollywood director Christopher Nolan walked away with the top prize for his blockbuster, 'Oppenheimer', at the Directors Guild of America (DGA) Awards in Los Angeles on Saturday. “The idea that my peers would think I deserve this means everything to me,” said Nolan, of his film about the invention of the atomic bomb.

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.”

The DGA prize for best movie from a first-time filmmaker went to another Oscar best picture nominee — Celine Song’s 'Past Lives.'
