DGA Awards Film Nominees Include Jordan Peele, Greta Gerwig (But Not Steven Spielberg)

Focus Features Golden Globe Awards After Party - ArrivalsAfter announcing its slate of television nominees on Wednesday, the Directors Guild of America revealed its honorees in film on Thursday, with an eclectic list that's notable both for who it includes, as well as who it excludes.

First, the actual nominees: After getting snubbed by the Golden Globes, both Jordan Peele and Greta Gerwig snagged DGA Awards nominations, for "Get Out" and "Lady Bird," respectively. Peele also received a nomination in the DGA's first-time filmmaker category, a prestigious double-nod from his peer group.

Of course, the inclusion of those filmmakers meant that there were several other high-profile awards season contenders who were left out in the cold, including previous DGA winner Steven Spielberg. The "Post" director's lack of a nomination from the Director's Guild may or may not dash his hopes of an Oscar nomination later this month, though considering his previous success with the Academy, we wouldn't be shocked if he squeaked in with a nod anyway.

Spielberg has already predicted that the Oscar nominations will be a very diverse field, and this DGA crew (voted on by many overlapping members of the Academy) certainly indicates that that will be true. The Director's Guild of America Awards will be handed out on February 3.

The full list of DGA film nominees is below.
