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 in Beverly Hills by comedian Kumail Nanjiani, also saw "The Studio," the Apple TV freshman series, take home a prize for comedy series.
The DGA Awards, which honor outstanding directorial achievements in film and television, are often seen as a predictor of the Academy Awards for Best Director, making the event a closely watched part of the awards season, according to Variety. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the team behind "The Studio," took time to pay tribute to their co-star Catherine O'Hara, with Rogen hailing her as an "utter genius" and the "nicest person."
Nanjiani opened the awards ceremony with jokes referencing the Epstein files, long movies, and other current events, according to Variety. The event also highlighted other entertainment news, including the HBO Max drama "The Pitt," which also received recognition.
The awards ceremony was not the only entertainment news making headlines. Actor Caleb McLaughlin expressed interest in playing Miles Morales, according to both Vox sources. The sources also covered the ongoing investigation into the suspected abduction of Savannah Guthrie's mother and the political developments surrounding Donald Trump, including concerns among Haitians in America regarding his rhetoric, as reported by Variety. Danish veterans were also seeking an apology from Trump, according to the Vox sources.
