On February 10th, the Director's Guild of America will hold their 76th annual awards. This is the first or second most accurate precursor award out there. The DGA winner and the Best Director Oscar winner have successfully lined-up 88% of the time or 66/75. It has also accurately predicted the Best Picture winner 75% of the time or 56/75. Since 2009, under the preferential ballot system, the accuracy of the DGA predicting Best Picture has gone down. We have only seen the DGA victor winning Best Picture 57% of the time or 8/14.
DGA BEST DIRECTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE NOMINEES
Greta Gerwig - Barbie
Yorgos Lanthimos - Poor Things
Christopher Nolan - Oppenheimer
Alexander Payne - The Holdovers
Martin Scorsese - Killers of the Flower Moon

Gerwig and Payne did not make the Best Director Oscar cut. Nolan is the only DGA nominee with an Oscar and BAFTA Best Director nomination. The Best Director awards this season have favored Christopher Nolan by a wide margin. He's won the NYFCC, the Globe, and Critics Choice prizes. Scorsese is the only other DGA nominated director who won any major best director awards this year. He triumphed at the National Board of Review awards.

This award has been around since 2015. It's a fairly new award. They have gone with the Oscar-nominated film every year except in 2018, when they picked Bo Burnham over Bradley Cooper.
