Christopher Nolan and The Dark Knight were final card to complete their trips today with the Directors Guild of America.
The DGA announced the five nominees for Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film.
"A film is a collaboration, but it is the director's energy and vision that brings the elements of script, performance and production into a satisfying totality. Today's nominees demonstrate how vision, combined with skill and talent, creates magic on the screen," said DGA Third Vice President Taylor Hackford.
"What makes this award truly meaningful to directors is the knowledge that only this award is decided solely by their peers – the men and women who live the passion, sweat and fear that goes into creating feature films."
Nolan will be up against Danny Boyle for Slumdog Millionaire, David Fincher for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Ron Howard for Frost/Nixon and Gus Van Sant for Milk.
The winner will be announced at the 61st Annual DGA Awards Dinner on Saturday, Jan. 31, at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel.
It should be noted that only six times since the DGA Awards began in 1948 has the feature film winner not gone on to win the Best Director Academy Award.
