Should be "Directors" and "Producers" (no apostrophes), and "Guild" (not "Guide") following the word "Directors."

B) It is awards' season. We are only getting started. Maybe come back in a couple months because Ted Lasso is going to get nominated for EVERYTHING.
In any case, I need to watch Ted Lasso now. (Yeah, I didn't get to watch it. I'm behind)
