DGA Dubs the Coens as Best Directors

No Country's momentum has begun

Ethan Coen, Martin Scorsese and Joel Coen
As the Diretors' Guild is all to happy to point out, winning the Guild's Outstanding Directorial Achievement Award is the first step to winning the Oscar in the same category as only six times since the DGA Awards began in 1949 has the winner not gone on to win the corresponding Academy Award.

What does this mean? Well, it means Joel and Ethan Coen are praying they aren't the seventh time the winner has not gone to the DGA winner as the directorial duo took home the DGA's coveted award last night during the 60th Annual DGA Awards Dinner for their critically acclaimed film No Country for Old Men.

No Country for Old Men was nominated for eight awards by the Academy of Arts and Science last week when the Oscar noms were announced. These noms included Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor (Javier Bardem). The brothers were also nominated for their adapted screenplay based on the Cormac McCarthy novel of the same name.

The Oscars will be held on February 24, 2008, which is when we will find out how it does, and the film will then hit DVD and Blu-ray on March 11th.
