LOS ANGELES – Jill Solloway received a golden welcome gift from the Directors Guild of America.

The creator of the Amazon series “Transparent” – and newbie DGA member – was honored Saturday with the outstanding directorial achievement for a comedy series trophy at the 67th annual Directors Guild Awards.

“I just got in the DGA,” Solloway told the crowd while accepting her award. “I got my card like three weeks ago.”

Solloway recalled that ceremony host Jane Lynch brought her as the “Glee” star’s guest to last year’s show.

Other early winners included Anthony B. Sacco for the Starz reality series “The Chair,” Jonathan Judge for the Nickelodeon show “100 Things to Do Before High School” and Nicolai Fuglsig for a Guinness commercial.
