It was an honor to get to direct her every day and we worked very hard to make the show good enough to warrant her time and her presence So, ultimately, we would like to thank the DGA for this, but we would mostly like to thank Catherine O\u2019Hara for being such a wonderful person and for blessing us with your presence.\u201d Goldberg added that O\u2019Hara was \u201cquite literally our idol since we were children,\u201d since the two Canadian boys grew up watching her on SCTV<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Not every award winner tributed Catherine O\u2019Hara at the 2026 DGAs, but there was a lot of love in the room for friends who have left. In his acceptance speech for One Battle After Another<\/a>, Paul Thomas Anderson thanked his first AD Adam Somner. Somner died of thyroid cancer in 2024. \u201cA lot of people in this room know our hero, our man, Adam Somner. Steven [Spielberg] knows him. His wife Carmen [Ruiz de Huidobro] is here,\u201d he said (per Deadline<\/a>). \u201cHe took this work so seriously, and did not take himself seriously at all. And that was a great gift\u2026 He made us feel safe. Think about this work that we do, how dangerous it can be, really dangerous. And to be to get through a film and no one get hurt, be safe, have an amazing experience is because of a great AD, and he was the best.\u201d A complete list of nominees, with the winners bolded, is below.<\/p>\n Theatrical Feature Film Michael Apted First-Time Theatrical Feature Film Documentary Film Dramatic Series Comedy Series Limited & Anthology Series Movies for Television Variety Sports Reality \/ Quiz and Game Documentary Series\/News Related<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Keeping pace with Hollywood\u2019s awards horserace.
