Event type:	Guild event
Official website(s):	http://www.dga.org/
Notes:	The DGA was founded in 1938 under the name 'Screen Directors Guild'. In 1960 the merger of the Screen Directors Guild and the Radio and Television Directors Guild forges the Directors Guild of America, Inc. The RTDG, formed in 1947 as the Radio Directors Guild, had grown to include television directors, associate directors, stage managers and production assistants working in live and taped television. Today the guild represents more than 10,000 members working in U.S. cities and abroad. Their creative work is represented in theatrical, industrial, educational and documentary films, as well as television - live, filmed and taped - radio, videos and commercials. (as of 2000) Although only directors are given DGA Awards, involved assistant directors, production and stage managers receive a plaque to acknowledge their work as part of the team. The DGA Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film has nearly always been a perfect forecast of the winner of the Oscar for Best Director. Since its inauguration in 1949 the winners of both awards only differed six times. In 1969 Anthony Harvey (II) won the DGA Award for Lion in Winter, The (1968) while Carol Reed (I) won the Oscar for Oliver! (1968). 1973 Francis Ford Coppola received DGA's nod for Godfather, The (1972) while the Academy selected Bob Fosse for Cabaret (1972). In 1986 Steven Spielberg received his first DGA Award for Color Purple, The (1985) while the Oscar went to Sydney Pollack for Out of Africa (1985). In 1996 Howard, Ron was chosen by the DGA for his direction of Apollo 13 (1995) while Academy voters cited Mel Gibson (I) for Braveheart (1995). In 2001 Ang Lee was chosen by the DGA for his direction of Wo hu cang long (2000) while Steven Soderbergh won the Best Director Academy Award for Traffic (2000). In 2003 Rob Marshall won the DGA Award for Chicago (2002) while Roman Polanski received the Academy Award for Pianist, The (2002).
