Presenters for Thursday’s New York ceremony will include Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren and directors Taylor Hackford, Steven Soderbergh and Martin Scorsese. The DGA Honors are the guild’s annual honorary awards; they go to individuals and institutions “that have made distinguished contributions to American culture through the world of film and television.” Belzer has hosted three times in the past. This year’s honorees are director/writer/producer Nora Ephron, senator Patrick Leahy, IATSE International president Matthew Loeb, HBO Documentary Films president Sheila Nevins and filmmaker Alice Guy Blache. Streep will present the award to Ephron, Mirren and DGA vice president Paris Barclay to Leahy, DGA president Hackford and DGA national executive director Jay Roth to Loeb, Soderbergh to Nevins, and Scorsese to Blache. The ceremony will take place on Thursday, October 13 at the DGA Theater in New York City.

I got in touch with DGA about the possibility of a video of Meryl’s speech and their response was: “Unfortunately, DGA Honors is not broadcast, and it’s also not taped for the purpose of posting the video online, so I don’t think that you are going to have an opportunity to watch the presentation. If anything changes, I will certainly let you know. In the meantime, you can check the DGA website (www.dga.org) a few days after Honors to see written coverage and photos from the event.” However, sometimes someone sneaks a recording onto You Tube – I certainly hope so.

I sure hope Meryl’s speech for Nora will be available here eventually… or at least on YouTube. I’m sure it will be really special!
