The Artist and Curb Your Enthusiasm Win Top Prizes at Directors Guild Awards
The Artist
Awards season front-runner The Artist came one step closer to Oscar gold by winning best director for a feature film at the Directors Guild Awards.
"Best director, I don't really know what that is. Every one of us is so different," winner Michel Hazanavicius said in his acceptance speech Saturday. "So to try to say which one is the best is very difficult. But I really appreciate this and thank you very much."
