The DGA Awards are presented annually by the Directors Guild of America. The ceremony for the 78th Annual DGA Awards is scheduled for February 7, 2026.

This market will resolve according to the listed person that wins the First-Time Theatrical Feature Film category at the 78th Annual DGA Awards.

If, for any reason, no winner is declared by April 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or in case of a tie for the winner, this market will resolve in favor of the listed person whose name comes first in alphabetical order.

The resolution source will be the television broadcast of the DGA Awards and the official DGA website (https://www.dga.org/awards/annual); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
