Apple TV+ managed to secure yet another award during the 76th Directors Guild of America Awards, with "Lessons in Chemistry" winning its category while one of its ads also received a nod.
Saturday night's 76th annual DGA Awards saw awards given out for outstanding directorial achievements in 2023. Hosted by Judd Apatow and held at the Beverley Hilton in Beverley Hills, Apple did manage to come away from the event with a couple of wins.
The big one for Apple TV+ is the win by Sarah Adina Smith for the "Lessons in Chemistry" episode "Her and Him," for Outstanding Directoral Achievement in Movies for Television and Limited Series.
In the category, Smith took on Tara Miele and Millicent Shelton, who were also listed for the "Lessons in Chemistry" episodes "Introduction to Chemistry" and "Poirot." Nzingha Stewart was also in the running for "Daisy Jones & The Six," alongside Shawn Levy for "All the Light We Cannot See."
The award wasn't the only one linked to Apple. For Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Commercials, Kim Gehrig of Somsuch won for the Apple Music commercial "Run This Town."
Other Apple TV+ shows were nominated but failed to win, including Declan Lowney and Erica Dunton for "Ted Lasso" and Martin Scorsese for "Killers of the Flower Moon.'

*loved* this show. I highly recommend it to people who have the attention span and temperament to enjoy something other than Marvel movie action orgies.
I hope they are able to come up with a good way to do another season.
