The Directors Guild of America made history this weekend by giving its first ever film director award to a woman: Kathryn Bigelow for The Hurt Locker.
I find this an especially fitting occasion for Mad Men to win an award, as it’s a show that has a groundbreaking number of women writers and directors. Lesli Linka Glatter was awarded top honors for a television drama for her outstanding work on Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency. I think we all agree that the episode is a masterpiece, and certainly the directing was complex, subtle, broad, funny, dramatic, and surprising. Well-deserved!
By the way, Matt Weiner and Jennifer Getzinger were also nominated.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
LOVED her work ever since she directed the pilot of Gilmore Girls…
OMG, that movie was so good. Amazing, amazing film. Congrats to Kathryn Bigelow. I hope she beats her ex-husband James Cameron at the Oscars. From what I hear, he's a bastard to work with. Avatar was visual bliss but The Hurt Locker is a movie what will haunt you for days.
