Tom Hooper Named Best Director By Directors Guild of America

DGA Announces Nominees
Most years the DGA coincides exactly with the five nominees at the Academy Awards. But there have been year where one director gets a DGA, but not an Oscar nod. There are even years where two of the DGA nominees don’t make it to Oscar. Right now, I think Fincher is mostly definitely the closest thing we have to a lock.
This year’s nominees are:
- Darren Aronofsky – Black Swan
- David Fincher – The Social Network
- Tom Hopper – The King’s Speech
- Christopher Nolan – Inception
- David O. Russell – The Fighter
Bigelow Wins DGA
KATHRYN WON YOU GUYS. SHE WON. I am so happy about this. SO HAPPY.
So what does this mean for Oscar? Well, the winner of the DGA has gone on to win Best Director at the Academy Awards 58 of the last 60 years. This is one of the few precursors that tend to accurately predict how Oscar will go.
