2 I D G A M O N T H L Y On October 18th, DGA Honors will be the New York nexus of entertainment, business, labor and politics — an event as unique as the individuals it recognizes. The DGA Honors ceremony will take place at the DGA's NY theater, with a VIP after-party at Nobu 57. Director Ang Lee, Fox Searchlight Chairman Nancy Utley, U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), SAG-AFTRA Senior Advisor John McGuire and Costume Designer Ann Roth will be honored at the DGA Honors gala at the Guild's Theater in New York City on Thursday, October 18, 2018. "There is nowhere more fi tting to celebrate the confl uence of entertainment, labor and politics than New York, our cultural epicenter," said DGA President Thomas Schlamme. "It's where a legendary director like Ang Lee, as a budding Taiwanese fi lmmaker, came to get started – and costume designing great Ann Roth made her mark in fi lm and on Broadway. The success of creators is made possible by collaborative business leaders who support and elevate their creative visions like Fox Searchlight chair Nancy Utley, labor leaders who fi ght for their rights like SAG-AFTRA senior advisor John McGuire, and lawmakers like Senator Amy Klobuchar who advocate for them and safeguard their work. Our culture is enriched by such a critical support system, resulting in the best fi lm and television in the world." "DGA Honors in New York is a special evening," said DGA National Vice President Vincent Misiano. "Once again, we'll gather with friends and colleagues to recognize outstanding contributions to our industry and to our shared culture. Our honorees come from very different disciplines, but all of them have collaborated to leave an indelible mark, and we're looking forward to celebrating their achievements." Past DGA Honors recipients have included infl uential fi lmmakers Ron Howard, Nora Ephron, Robert Altman, Jonathan Demme, Miloš Forman, Curtis Hanson, Spike Lee, Mike Nichols, Arthur Penn, Sydney Pollack, and Martin Scorsese; as well as leaders in entertainment, labor, and politics such as Law & Order creator/ producer Dick Wolf, Saturday Night Live producer Lorne Michaels, Sopranos creator David Chase, HBO Documentary Films President Sheila Nevins, Robert De Niro, former Paramount Pictures CEO Sherry Lansing, IATSE International President Matthew Loeb, former AFL-CIO President John Sweeney, Senator Charles Schumer, and Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
