Directors Guild of America Nominees Cast New Light on Oscar Race

BuzzSugar — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 11:29:23 PST

The Directors Guild of America has announced their nominees for the best director of 2007. The choices are interestingly different from the Golden Globe nominees, casting some doubt on whether the Globes will actually predict the Oscars in this category. DGA president Michael Apted points out that the race this year is wider than last year's: "There’s no big studio blockbuster among them, the way The Departed was last year. It’s a very open year." Check out the competition for DGA's big honor:

Paul Thomas Anderson, There Will Be Blood
Joel Coen & Ethan Coen, No Country for Old Men
Tony Gilroy, Michael Clayton
Sean Penn, Into the Wild
Julian Schnabel, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

The most surprising absences here are Joe Wright for Atonement and Ridley Scott for American Gangster, as both are in the running to win the Best Director Golden Globe for two of the most talked-about films of 2007.

Not having seen The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, I can't speak to how deserving Julian Schnabel would be of this award, though I must say I'm slightly surprised to see Gilroy and Penn there in place of Wright and Scott. I also personally think Tim Burton continues to be shafted from these award nominations.

What do you think about the DGA's shortlist? Who should win the prize for best director of 2007?

Scorcese Scores at the 2006 Directors Guild Awards

BuzzSugar — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 10:35:44 PST

Last night, the Directors Guild of America announced the winners of its 2006 awards, which recognize everything from daytime dramas to TV commercials. The big news was a big win for Martin Scorsese, who earned the DGA's honor for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in a Feature Film for The Departed.

Not only do I think that honor is totally deserved, but it also bodes well for Scorsese's chances of finally taking home an Oscar this year. I was also glad to see some of my favorite TV shows recognized for their directing achievements. To see the rest of the 2006 DGA winners,

Ewan and Emily Bring Salmon Fishing in Yemen to LA

Lindsay Miller — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 10:25:34 PST

Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt teamed up for the premiere of their film Salmon Fishing in the Yemen last night at the Directors Guild of America in Hollywood. Emily paired a tea-length Naeem Khan dress with Chopard jewels at the debut while Ewan suited up in Dolce & Gabbana. Her husband, John Krasinski, wasn't on hand to pose for pictures with her, but Ewan's wife Eve Mavrakis joined him on the red carpet for a few photos. Ewan and Emily costar in the new movie as a team tasked with bringing the sport of fishing to the middle of a sheik's Yemeni desert. The film, which comes from the screenwriter of Slumdog Millionaire and the director of Chocolat, opens this Friday. The feel-good story will be Emily's last big-screen foray until The Five-Year Engagement opposite Jason Segel. That comedy will give the actress the chance to show off her humorous side when it hits theaters this Spring.

Alicia Keys Jets to Hawaii For a Bikini-Filled Getaway With Her Boys

Katie Henry — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:29:21 PST

Alicia Keys started her morning with a walk on the beach alongside her little man, Egypt, and husband, Swizz Beatz, in Hawaii. The trip serves as an early getaway in honor of Alicia's 31st birthday on Feb. 25. She's taking a break after recently entertaining a crowd of Hollywood's hottest actors during the Producers Guild Awards. She sang her hits "Empire State of Mind" and "No One" for George Clooney, the cast of Bridesmaids, Brad Pitt, and Angelina Jolie.

Alicia and her directing partners Jennifer Aniston and Demi Moore celebrated over the weekend at the Directors Guild of America Awards in LA, where their Lifetime ensemble project Five was nominated. Jennifer, accompanied by boyfriend Justin Theroux, represented the bunch while Alicia relaxed on the beach with her family and Demi continued seeking treatment for health issues.

Stacy Keibler Returns to George Clooney's Side For the SAG Awards

Allie Merriam — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:43:15 PST

George Clooney and Stacy Keibler were together this evening on the red carpet at the SAG Awards in LA. She was decked out in a black dress from Marchesa, matching boyfriend George in his black and white tux. Stacy took a night off from award season craziness on Saturday, when she skipped the Directors Guild of America Awards. George was there to honor his The Descendants director Alexander Payne along with costar Shailene Woodley. This evening could bring more honors to Alexander's movie if George walks away with a best actor statue. They're also in the running for best performance by an ensemble cast.

Michelle, George, and Jennifer Light Up the Directors Guild Awards

Molly Goodson — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 10:12:32 PST

It was all about the behind-the-scenes masterminds of film and television at last night's Directors Guild of America Awards in LA. The evening's top honors went to The Artist - check out all the DGA winners here - which further sets it apart as a front runner in the Oscar race. George Clooney stepped out to support The Descendants' Alexander Payne, though the leading man was without his red-carpet counterpart, Stacy Keibler. The two should be back together again this afternoon for the SAG Awards, however. Michelle Williams presented the documentary DGA Award to Project Nim, and she'll be back out in just a few hours for SAG. Michelle and George are both nominees going into that one and had more big news to celebrate this week when they each earned Oscar nods.

Jennifer Aniston was a nominee for her work on the Lifetime movie Five, and she did have her arm candy in the form of boyfriend Justin Theroux. Jennifer and Justin apparently snuggled close during dinner and slipped out to a private afterparty to finish their date night.

Catch all of Sunday night's SAG Awards red-carpet action LIVE right here on PopSugar Network starting at 6 p.m. EST/3 p.m. PST, and tune into the SAG Awards show at 8 p.m. EST/5 p.m. PST on TNT and TBS.
