Rogen Hails O'Hara, Anderson Wins DGA, Nanjiani Roasts

Paul Thomas Anderson won the top prize at the 78th annual Directors Guild of America (DGA) Awards on Saturday, February 7, 2026, for his work on "One Battle After Another." The ceremony, hosted by Kumail Nanjiani, also saw Seth Rogen pay tribute to his "Studio" co-star Catherine O'Hara, while Nanjiani delivered opening jokes touching on current events.

The DGA Awards, held in Beverly Hills, recognize outstanding directorial achievements in film and television. The award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Theatrical Feature Film is often a strong indicator of the Academy Award for Best Director, making the event a significant bellwether for the Oscars race, according to Variety.

Seth Rogen took time during the ceremony to praise Catherine O'Hara, his co-star in the Apple TV freshman series "The Studio," which won a Directors Guild award for comedy series. Rogen hailed O'Hara as an "utter genius" and "the nicest person," according to Variety.

The event also featured opening remarks from Kumail Nanjiani, who, according to Variety, delivered jokes about the Epstein files, long movies, and D.W. Griffith. DGA President Christopher Nolan noted a sharp decline in Hollywood employment and urged studios to "repay the investment" that fans put into movies and TV, as reported by Variety.

The DGA Awards also touched on broader industry concerns. One article in Variety highlighted the downturn in TV and film, the fight for a federal production tax incentive, and Hollywood's health plan problems.
