    DGA Names Bradford Young Best Commercial Director of the Year

    Bradford Young

    By Robert Goldrich

    BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. --

    Bradford Young–an accomplished cinematographer whose lensing of Denis Villeneuve's Arrival earned an Oscar nomination in 2017–has now also gained recognition from a different set of peers for his directorial talent, winning the DGA Award in the Commercials category during a gala ceremony at the Beverly Hilton on Saturday night (3/12).

    Young–whose production company affiliations are Serial Pictures in the U.S. and Somesuch in the U.K.–scored the DGA Award for his U.K. Channel 4 Paralympics promo spot “Super. Human.” out of agency 4Creative, London. The spot shows that this special breed of athlete is not only “super” but deeply “human” as Young delves into what the pursuit of the Paralympian dream entails–the adversity faced, the sacrifices made, the doubts behind the strength.

    While Young couldn’t be on hand for the DGA Awards proceedings at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, he still contributed to history as just the second person of color to win the DGA honor for commercialmaking–the first being Melina Matsoukas of PRETTYBIRD who received the award last year. 

    Young topped this year’s field of nominees which also consisted of: Steve Ayson of MJZ; Kathryn Bigelow of SMUGGLER; Henry-Alex Rubin, also of SMUGGLER; and Ian Pons Jewell of RESET.

    Young, Bigelow and Jewell are first-time nominees in the Commercials category. However, Bigelow overall has three career nominations–the other two coming in the theatrical feature competition. She became the first woman to win the marquee DGA feature honor for The Hurt Locker in 2010. Three years later she was again nominated for Zero Dark Thirty. 

    Ayson meanwhile has garnered four career DGA nominations for his commercialmaking–the first coming in 2013, then in 2019 and again last year.

    Jez Oakley served as Young’s first assistant director on “Super. Human.”

    FBI Releases Surveillance Images Of Masked Person On Nancy Guthrie’s Porch

    Tuesday, February 10, 2026

    A masked person with a handgun holster was caught on camera outside Nancy Guthrie's front door the night she disappeared, images released Tuesday by the FBI show, offering the first major break in a case that has gripped the nation for more than a week. The person wearing a backpack and a ski mask can be seen in one of the videos tilting their head down and away from a doorbell camera while nearing an archway at the home of the mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie. The footage shows the person holding a flashlight in their mouth and trying to cover the camera with a gloved hand and part of a plant ripped from Nancy Guthrie's yard. The videos — less than a combined minute in length — gave investigators and the public their first glimpse of who was outside Nancy Guthrie's home just outside Tucson, but the images did not show what happened to her or help determine whether the 84-year-old is still alive. FBI Director Kash Patel said the "armed individual" appeared to "have tampered with the camera." It was not entirely clear whether there was a gun in the holster. The videos were pulled from data on "back-end systems" after investigators spent days trying to find lost, corrupted or inaccessible images, Patel said. "This will get the phone ringing for lots of potential leads," said former FBI agent Katherine Schweit. "Even when you have a person who appears to be completely covered, they're really not. You can see their girth, the shape of their face, potentially their eyes or mouth. You can see a gait that people around that person may recognize immediately." Investigators have said for more than a week that they believe Nancy Guthrie was taken against her will. She was last seen at home Jan. 31 and reported missing the next day. DNA... Read More
