The Academy Award for Best Drama Directing (Best Director), usually known as the Best Drama Director Hum, is one of the Awards of Merit presented by the Hum Television Network and Entertainment Channel (HTNEC) to directors working in the drama industry. While nominations for Best drama Director are made by members in the Hum's Directing branch, the award winners are selected by the Hum membership as a whole.

History

As of 1st Hum Awards Ceremony, HTNEC presented awards to directors. At 1st Hum Awards there were ten nominations for different dramas serials. The Hum Awards for Best Director and Best Drama Serial have been very closely linked together.

Rules

As per rule declared by Direction Guild of Pakistan only one individual may claim screen credit as a Drama's director. (This rule is designed to prevent rights and ownership issues and to eliminate lobbying for director credit by producers and actors.) However, the DGP may create an exception to this "one director per drama" rule if two co-directors seeking to share director credit for a drama qualify as an "established duo".

Winners and Nominees

Each Hum Awards ceremony is listed chronologically below along with the winner of the Hum Award for Drama Directing and the drama associated with the award. In the column next to the winner of each award are the other nominees for best director.

For the first ceremony to onwards, the eligibility period spanned full calendar years. For example, the 1st Hum Awards presented on April 28, 2013, to recognized dramas that were released between January, 2012, and December, 2012, the period of eligibility is the full previous calendar year from January 1 to December 31.
