BREAKING NEWS–Marc Forster wins a Directors Guild nomination for FINDING NEVERLAND!
Congratulations to FINDING NEVERLAND director Marc Forster, who this morning was honored with his first-ever nomination for the extremely prestigious Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film. As current DGA president Michael Apted said when he read the names of the nominees, “What makes this award truly meaningful to directors is the knowledge that only this award is decided solely by their peers–the men and women who know the blood, passion, and fear that go into each production. I offer my hearty congratulations to all the nominees for demonstrating how vision, when combined with skill and talent, creates excellence on the screen.”
Marc is joined in the ranks of nominees by Clint Eastwood for MILLION DOLLAR BABY, Taylor Hackford for RAY, Alexander Payne for SIDEWAYS, and Martin Scorsese for THE AVIATOR. The DGA awards will be presented at a ceremony in Los Angeles on Saturday evening, January 29, 2005 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Thanks to FANtasticJD for sharing the good news.
