The Directors Guild of America Announces Nominations!

The Directors Guild of America (DGA) committee, an award-giving body made by Hollywood movie directors, chosen by Hollywood movie directors, with Hollywood directors as members as well, recently announced its list of nominees to their prestigious Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film for the year 2009.

It is said that the chosen winner in this year's DGA Award will become a possible winner to the upcoming Academy Awards (The OSCARS) this coming February in the Best Director category. So, whoever will win in the list of nominees below for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film for 2009, is predicted to be the winner in the Academy Awards this 2010! Interesting! Just like last year when movie director Danny Boyle of Slumdog Millionaire won the Outstanding Directorial Achievement Award, he also won in the OSCARS Best Director category. Okay, now lets see if this year's DAG's prediction will come true when the winner is announced later this January.
