Oscar-winning actress Jodie Foster collected a pair of Directors Guild of America nominations today for her directorial work on two Netflix series, the drama “House of Cards” and the comedy “Orange is the New Black.”
Foster will compete in the drama series category with two “Homeland” directors, Dan Attias and Lesli Linka Glatter, along with Cary Joji Fukunaga for an episode of HBO’s “True Detective” and Alex Graves for HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”
In the comedy category, Foster was nominated along with Louis C.K. for FX’s “Louie,” Mike Judge for HBO’s “Silicon Valley,” Gail Mancuso for ABC’s “Modern Family” and Jill Soloway for Amazon Prime’s “Transparent.”
