Ang Lee Honored With DGA’s Lifetime Achievement Award
"Brokeback Mountain" director Ang Lee will be honored with the DGA's Lifetime Achievement Award at the 77th DGA Awards on Feb. 8.
For over 30 years, he has directed a dynamic body of work that boldly cuts across genres – from period drama to comedy, adventure to Western, superhero to martial arts – always fearlessly taking on new challenges, never repeating himself, and consistently achieving cinematic excellence,” said DGA President Lesli Linka Glatter. From his earliest features like ‘The Wedding Banquet’ to artistic and commercial successes like ‘Brokeback Mountain,’ ‘Life of Pi’ and ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,’ Ang’s work is consistently recognized by critics, festivals and audiences for its brilliant storytelling and technological innovations. He’s a two-time winner of the DGA feature film category, in 2000 for “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” and in 2005 for “Brokeback Mountain,” for which he also won the directing Oscar.
