Directors Guild Nominations!



The Directors Guild of America announced their five top directors on Tuesday for their 65th annual awards.  I'm surprised to see Tom Hooper on the list, I thought either David O. Russell or Michael Haneke would be take the fifth spot.  The winners will be announced on February 2, 2013.  The rest of the nominee are listed below.
