The Limey (1999)
Direction: Steven Soderbergh
Screenplay: Lem Dobbs
Cast: Terence Stamp, Lesley Ann Warren, Luis Guzman, Peter Fonda, Barry Newman, Joe Dallesandro, Nicky Katt, Amelia Heinle, Melissa George

&#160;

&#160;
By Dan Schneider of Cosmoetica:
Director Steven  Soderbergh’s 1999 so-called crime drama The Limey  is  easily the best  Soderbergh effort I’ve  seen. That&#8217;s partly due  to the innovative narrative structure, which  makes all but the  last  few minutes of this great film a flashback. The rest is due to an excellent  script by  Lem Dobbs, whose other great success came a year  earlier, in Alex Proyas’ sci-fi thriller Dark City. Both films, despite  their apparent differences, are acutely focused on human memory and [...]]]></description>

 2009 Directors Guild Awards
2009 DGA feature film nominations: January 8, 2009. Documentary and television nominations: January 9, 2009
2009 DGA award winners: Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles, January 31, 2009
(&#34;*&#34; denotes the winner in each category)
&#160;

Following his DGA win, Danny Boyle is the odds-on favorite to win the best director Academy Award. In fact, Boyle has been the odds-on favorite for quite some time. In any case, since the DGA Awards&#8217; inception in 1949 only eight times has the DGA winner failed to win the best director Oscar. (Actually, more like six times as there was some overlapping in the 1948-49 selections. Check out the DGA Awards/the Oscars.) Slumdog Millionaire has also won the Producers Guild Award.

Danny Boyle

BEST DIRECTION
Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire)
David Fincher (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button)
Ron Howard (Frost/Nixon)
Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight)
Gus Van Sant (Milk)
All the nominees match the films found in the best picture list &#8212; something that is less common than one might think. Fincher has been  getting plenty of recognition from critics&#8217; and other groups, which makes me believe that, despite some unenthusiastic reviews for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, he&#8217;ll land a best director nomination come next January.
Doubt director John Patrick Shanley will have to be content with a screenwriting nod.
Runners-up: Mike Leigh (Happy-Go-Lucky), who may pull off another Vera Drake upset and  take Ron Howard&#8217;s place; Sam Mendes (Revolutionary Road); the idolized Clint Eastwood (Gran [...]]]></description>
