The Grand Budapest’s Wes Anderson, Boyhood’s Richard Linklater and The Imitation Game’s Morten Tyldum all received their first nominations from the Directors Guild of America as the DGA announced its nominees for outstanding feature film directing today. Also joining the select circle were Birdman’s Alejandro G. Inarritu, a previous nominee, and American Sniper’s Clint Eastwood, a previous winner. Veterans of the indie film scene in America, Anderson and Linklater have not previously received DGA recognition. The Norwegian-born Tyldum made his English-language feature debut with Game.
