“SUCCESSION” will win the Directors Guild of America (DGA) Award this year for drama. That’s because it’s the only nominee this year for drama: Five episodes of the HBO series’ third season filled all five nominated slots for this year’s DGA Awards category for dramatic series.

The “Succession” sweep comes as the DGA has revealed this year’s TV nominees for its 74th annual awards, including achievement in drama, comedy, limited/TV movie, variety, reality, children’s and commercials. Also announced Wednesday were the nominees for this year’s directorial achievement in documentaries.

On the comedy side, Apple TV Plus’ “Ted Lasso” led with three of the five DGA Awards nominations in the category, along with episodes of “Hacks” and “The White Lotus” (which somehow landed in the comedy field there). In the limited series race, two episodes of Hulu’s “Dopesick” face off against episodes of “Mare of Easttown,” “Station Eleven” and “The Underground Railroad.”

HBO dominated the nominations, with 10 — and then another five for HBO Max, which was in second place. Combine the two, as WarnerMedia likes to do, and that was an overwhelming 15 total. Behind them were Apple TV Plus, CBS and Hulu (which shared one nom with Searchlight and Onyx), with three nominations each, and then two apiece for Amazon Prime Video, Comedy Central, Hulu, National Geographic, NBC, Netflix and Paramount Plus.

The DGA Awards are voted on by the 18,000-plus members of the guild. This year’s awards recognize TV entries broadcast during the period of March 1, 2021, through Dec. 31, 2021. Voting for the TV awards took place between Dec. 15, 2021 and Jan. 21, 2022.

This year’s DGA Awards will take place March 12, with details to come on how the ceremony will be handled. Spike Lee is set to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award for Distinguished Achievement in Motion Picture Direction.(SD-Agencies)
