On the comedy side, Emmy winner Lucia Aniello received yet another award for “Hacks,” this time for the episode “There Is No Line,” for which she won the DGA Award. Aniello and “Hacks” knocked over “Ted Lasso,” which received three of the category’s five DGA Award nominations, as well as an episode called “The White Lotus” (which somehow landed in the comedy field there). This was Aniello’s first nomination for a DGA Award.
Barry Jenkins’ Amazon Prime Video series “The Underground Railroad” continued its winning record in the limited series category. Jenkins triumphed against two episodes of Hulu’s “Dopesick,” as well as episodes of “Mare of Easttown,” “Station Eleven,” and other shows. Jenkins was nominated for his second DGA Award, following a feature nomination for “Moonlight” in 2016.
Smriti Mundhra took home the award for best children’s programming for her work on HBO Max’s “Through Our Eyes,” “Shelter.” Mundhra was nominated for the DGA Award for the first time.
Adam Vetri won for Discovery’s “Getaway Driver,” “Electric Shock” in reality shows. Vetri received his third DGA Award nomination in 2015 for “Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Challenge,” “Gods of War,” for which he won the DGA Award for Reality.
Paul Dugdale won for CBS’ “Adele: One Night Only” in the variety/talk/news/sports–specials category. It was his first nomination for a DGA Award.
