Liz Patrick at 77th DGA Awards • CelebMafia

Liz Patrick, celebrated for directing “Saturday Night Live,” was a highlight at the 77th DGA Awards in Los Angeles.

The 77th Directors Guild of America Awards, held on February 8, 2025, at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, was a night to remember, not just for the accolades handed out but for the parade of talent on the red carpet. Among them was Liz Patrick, renowned for her work directing “Saturday Night Live,” who added a touch of humor and style to the event. Her presence was more than just a nod to her achievements; it was a celebration of the live television directing that keeps viewers glued to their screens every Saturday night.

Patrick’s win for Best Variety/Talk/News/Sports Series for directing the episode featuring John Mulaney and Chappell Roan was a testament to her skill in capturing the essence of live comedy (Forbes, 2025). The DGA Awards are a critical juncture in the awards season, offering a glimpse into the directors who might soon be celebrated at the Oscars. Patrick’s accolade highlighted the often underappreciated art of live television directing, where timing, pace, and the ability to adapt on the fly are paramount.
