Apple TV+’s “Lessons in Chemistry” Triumphs at DGA Awards In a celebratory evening for Apple TV+, "Lessons in Chemistry" secured a prestigious win at the 76th Directors Guild of America Awards, marking another notable achievement for the platform's original content.

The 76th Directors Guild of America Awards, held at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills and hosted by Judd Apatow, spotlighted the year’s exceptional directorial work in various categories. Among the evening’s highlights, Apple emerged victorious, clinching awards that underscored its impact in the entertainment industry.

Sarah Adina Smith’s direction of the Lessons in Chemistry episode titled “Her and Him” won for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Movies for Television and Limited Series. This victory placed Smith ahead of formidable nominees within the same series and other acclaimed projects, showcasing the episode’s unique narrative and directorial excellence.

Smith’s competition included Tara Miele and Millicent Shelton for their respective Lessons in Chemistry episodes, “Introduction to Chemistry” and “Poirot”. Additionally, the category featured Nzingha Stewart for Daisy Jones & the Six and Shawn Levy for All the Light We Cannot See, highlighting the diverse and talented field of directors.

Apple’s success extended beyond its original series, as it also celebrated a win in the Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Commercials category. Kim Gehrig of Somesuch received an accolade for directing the Apple Music commercial “Run This Town”, further demonstrating the Cupertino giant’s creative prowess in advertising.

Despite these wins, other Apple TV+ nominations did not culminate in awards. Notably, Declan Lowney and Erica Dunton for Ted Lasso and Martin Scorsese for Killers of the Flower Moon were recognized but did not secure victories in their respective categories.

Nonetheless, the accolades garnered at the DGA Awards highlight Apple and Apple TV+’s growing influence and recognition within the entertainment industry, reflecting a commitment to producing high-quality, compelling content.

In conclusion, Apple TV+’s achievement at the DGA Awards, particularly for Lessons in Chemistry, not only celebrates the talent behind its original content, but also solidifies its status as a formidable player in the competitive landscape of streaming services.
