 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.

  Merrick Morton/Paramount Pictures
In the London Times, screenwriter Eric Roth discusses &#34;The curious case of the making of Benjamin Button&#34; with Kevin Maher:
&#34;&#8217;In 1922 F.Scott Fitzgerald had a baby girl,&#8217; continues the 63-year-old  Oscar-winner Roth (Forrest Gump). &#8216;And when she was three months old he  wrote a short story, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.&#8217; The tale, about a  man who was born at 70 and slowly aged backwards towards infancy, reflected  Fitzgerald&#8217;s newly altered views on mortality, Roth says, adding: &#8216;But it  was very broad and whimsical.&#8217; However, the basic idea would eventually  evolve into the story of an 86-year-old man, Benjamin ([Brad] Pitt), who is born as  a wizened homunculus [...]]]></description>

David Frankel’s comedy Marley  &#38; Me raced to the top of the North American box office this  weekend with $37 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer  Aniston as a couple struggling to keep their dog in check, Marley  &#38; Me lifted its  domestic total to an impressive $51.6 million after only four days in release. 


At No. 2, Adam Sandler’s latest  comedy Bedtime Stories took home $28 million, reaching a  cumulative gross of $38.5 million. The Adam Shankman-directed effort follows  a hotel handyman whose bedtime stories come true the next day.

Meanwhile, David Fincher’s  acclaimed drama The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, starring Brad Pitt [...]]]></description>

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>

Via indieWIRE &#8212; &#34;The Critics Speak: Best, Worst, the Auteurs and the Underrated.&#34; Below are a couple of sample quotes: 
&#34;More people in our world will see Juno than 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days. More will see 300 than Offside. More will see Saw IV than There Will Be Blood [above]. Yet we fight on, championing those films that really mean something to us. I find this rage against an always dying light both disconcerting and empowering, and I am thankful for filmmakers like Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Paul Thomas Anderson, Jafar Panahi, Sarah Polley, Pedro Costa, Tsai Ming-liang, the Coens, Todd Haynes, and all of the others who consistently reminded me of why I do what I do and [...]]]></description>
