Über 18.000 Mitglieder der DIRECTORS GUILD of AMERICA weltweit konnten herausragende Leistungen in der Sparte Regie würdigen. Mitglieder umfassen die Branchen Regie, Regie-Assistenz, Produktionsmanagment, Aufnahmen-leitung und Produktionsassistenz.
Durch die Preisverleihung am Abend des 19. Februar 2023 führte Autor/Regisseur/Produzent/Schauspieler/StandUp-Comedian Judd Apatow. Die Gala im Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills wurde in keiner Form übertragen, was dem Comedian Apatow noch mehr humoresken Freiraum in den Zwischenmoderationen gegeben haben muss, um die Industrie oder diverse Individuen ins Visier zu nehmen. So berichten 
wenigstens anwesende Pressevertreter. Zum Beispiel der Hollywood Reporter, der genüsslich die Spitzen gegen Tom Cruise zitiert.
