 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.

&#160;

Kung Fu Panda was the surprising &#8212; shocking? &#8212; big winner at the 2009 Annie Awards. The animated feature won 10 Annies &#8212; in every single feature category &#8212; including best animated feature, best direction (John Stevenson and Mark Osborne), best screenplay (Jon Aibel and Glenn Berger), and best voice acting (Dustin Hoffman). Odds-on favorite WALL-E failed to win a single award. It should be noted that since 2001, when the Academy instituted the best animated feature category, only once has the Annie winner failed to nab the Academy Award.

An animated film has won the National Society of Film Critics 2009 Awards. No, not WALL-E, but Ari Folman&#8217;s anti-war documentary-ish Waltz with Bashir, about Israel&#8217;s disastrous 1982 invasion of Lebanon. It&#8217;s hard not to believe that current events &#8212; the Gaza conflict  has been going on since late December &#8212; influenced the vote, though war or no war in the Middle East, Waltz with Bashir has been garnering nearly universal praise.
 Waltz with Bashir, which had previously won the Los Angeles Film Critics&#8216; best animated film award (a sort of consolation prize for having lost to WALL-E in the best film category), is Israel&#8217;s entry for the 2009 best foreign-language film Oscar; the film is also one of [...]]]></description>

Encounters at the End of the World

BEST DOCUMENTARY, FEATURE
Encounters at the End of the World
  I.O.U.S.A.
  Man on Wire
  Standard Operating Procedure
  Trouble the Water
This is another specialty category that&#8217;s hard to hazard a guess. 

The critically acclaimed Sundance winner Man on Wire is the only shoo-in, unless there&#8217;s another Hoop Dreams or The Thin Blue Line upset. 
I.O.U.S.A. is quite relevant &#8212; the title says it all;
 Standard Operating Procedure comes from the hands of Errol Morris, whose The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara won the 2003 Oscar in this category;
 Trouble the Water is another doc that has been greeted by solid reviews and that has been [...]]]></description>
