Despite all sorts of rules governing crediting in Hollywood, there have been instances where multiple creatives received nods for roles they originally did not sign up for.

Such was the case with the John Wick directorial duo, where Chad Stahelski received the directorial credit due to DGA rules (via The Hollywood Reporter). David Leitch, on the other hand, was the one who got the producer nod due to PGA stipulations despite being a co-director on set.

Fortunately for the Atomic Blonde director, his indubitable mark as a filmmaker on the franchise can be felt to this day regardless of the credits he received.
