I registi di tutto il mondo vengono premiati annualmente da Hollywood con la corporazione della Directors Guild of America, ricevendo un prestigio senza pari. Quasi sempre questo premio anticipa quello che poi sarà il vincitore degli Oscar, e quindi è da monitorare con grande attenzione le sorti dei registi di questa edizione. I DGA Awards 2023 spaziano dalla televisione al cinema, anche documentaristi, e ci sono ben 11 categorie con i riconoscimenti pronti ad essere offerti il 18 febbraio. Non ci sono sorprese, e si conferma il duello tra The Fabelmans ed Everything Everywhere All at Once, quindi i Daniels e Spielberg a fronteggiarsi: i giovani ed il maestro, chi la spunterà?
