LOS ANGELES — Greta Gerwig and Jordan Peele are among the five directors who have been recognized for outstanding directorial achievement by the Directors Guild of America. The Guild announced its feature film nominees Thursday, including Gerwig for the coming-of age film “Lady Bird” and Peele for his horror sensation “Get Out,” which also earned him a first-time director nod.

Guillermo del Toro, who won the Golden Globe for directing Sunday, scored his first DGA nomination for the romantic fantasy “The Shape of Water,” as did Martin McDonagh for his revenge tale “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.” Christopher Nolan got his fourth for “Dunkirk.” Nolan was previously nominated for “Inception,” ‘’The Dark Knight” and “Memento.”

Winners will be revealed at an untelevised Feb. 3 ceremony.
