On February 5, DGA members enjoyed the 2015 edition of the
Meet the Nominees: Commercials symposium in the Guild’s Los Angeles theater complex.
The evening opened with an introduction by DGA Past President/National Board Member Taylor Hackford and included a screening of all the nominated commercials. Then nominees Brendan Malloy and Emmett Malloy (The Huddle, Nike) and Daniel Mercadante and Katina Mercadante (Sports Matter, Dick's Sporting Goods; We Are Not Alone, Facebook; Big Sister, Facebook) joined moderator David Cornell for a discussion of their work.
The symposium was followed by a reception where DGA members and guests could mingle with the nominees.
Nominees Nicolai Fuglsig (Sapeurs, Guinness; Waiting, FEMA); Lauren Greenfield (Always #LikeAGirl, Always); and Noam Murro (Ahead of Their Time, Dodge; Empty Chair, Guinness) were unable to attend the symposium.
