Mumbai: Filmmaker Payal Kapadia, despite missing out on an award at the 2025 Golden Globes, has now been nominated for her debut feature All We Imagine As Light at the prestigious Directors Guild of America (DGA) Awards.
The nominations for the 77th DGA Awards were announced on 8 January 2025. Payal has been shortlisted for the Michael Apted Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in First-Time Theatrical Feature Film. Her competition includes Megan Park (My Old Ass), RaMell Ross (Nickel Boys), Halfdan Ullmann Tøndel (Armand), and Sean Wang (Dìdi). The winners will be revealed on 8 February 2025.
Earlier this year, Payal was nominated for Best Director—Motion Picture at the 2025 Golden Globes, while her film competed in the Best Foreign Language Film category. However, at the ceremony held on 5 January, she lost to Brady Corbet (The Brutalist) and Emilia Pérez, which took home the other award.
The critically acclaimed All We Imagine As Light features Kani Kusruti, Divya Prabha, Chhaya Kadam, and Hridhu Haroon. Written and directed by Payal Kapadia, the film premiered at the 77th Cannes Film Festival in 2024, where it won the Grand Prix, the festival’s second-highest honour after the Palme d’Or.
The film has received widespread international acclaim and continues to earn accolades. It has also been nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards.
