The association includes more than 16 thousand filmmakers who every year celebrate the achievements of their colleagues in the field of feature films, documentaries and television. Damien Chazelle , 32, won the Best Feature Film Director nomination. Today's triumph has made the director of the musical "La La Land" the main favorite of the Oscar race: in its long history the Directors Guild has only seven times failed to predict the name of the future winner of the Academy Award .
