DGA Film Nominations: Tarantino, Scorsese, Mendes, Bong & Waititi Eye Top Prize

Filmdom’s battle between the haves and have-nots moved off-screen when Oscar nominations were announced earlier this month: Four films scored 10 or more nominations, with Todd Phillips’ “Joker,” leading the pack with 11, and Sam Mendes’ World War I nail-biter “1917,” Martin Scorsese’s epic gangster tale “The Irishman” and Quentin Tarantino’s retro “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” trailing a tick behind at 10 each. It’s rare for three films to land 10 or more nominations, let alone four.

This is superb. Sony Pictures has released a wonderful near 30-minute-long documentary feature titled ‘A Love Letter To Making Movies’, a featurette based around Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood and it is glorious.
