LOS ANGELES — "Shogun," "The Bear" and "The Penguin" dominated the television nominations announced Tuesday for the 77th annual Directors Guild of America Awards, with each show snagging a leading three nods.

"Shogun," an FX drama set in 17th century feudal Japan, collected a record number of Emmys last year and was named best drama series at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, among its TV-leading four victories.

Tuesday, it earned DGA nominations for Hiromi Kamata, Frederick E.O. Toye and Jonathan Van Tulleken for directing various episodes. Other nominations in the drama category went to Alex Graves for Netflix's "Dreadnought" and Issa López for HBO's "True Detective: Night Country."

In the comedy series category, meanwhile, FX's "The Bear" earned directing nods for Ayo Edebiri, Duccio Fabbri and Christopher Storer. The other nominations in the category went to Lucia Aniello for "Hacks" and Jeff Schaffer for "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

In the category of movies for television and limited series, HBO's miniseries "The Penguin" delivered nominations for various episodes to Kevin Bray, Jennifer Getzinger and Helen Shaver. Other nods went to Alfonso Cuarón for "Disclaimer" and Steven Zaillian for "Ripley."

Ang Lee, best known for helming films including "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," "Brokeback Mountain" and "Life of Pi," will receive the DGA's Lifetime Achievement Award, the organization announced in December.

The DGA feature film nominations are scheduled to be revealed Wednesday. That honor is a coveted award, since it typically foretells success on Oscar night. Since 1948, there have only been eight times that the winner of the DGA award for feature film directing has not gone on to win the Oscar for best director. The most recent time was in 2020, when Sam Mendes won the DGA Award for "1917," but the Oscar went to Bong Joon Ho for "Parasite."

Christopher Nolan won the DGA Award and the Oscar last year for "Oppenheimer."

All winners are set to be announced Feb. 8 during ceremonies at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
