The DGA winner

So Eastwood beat out Scorsese for the DGA honor. This means that Marty (the finest living director - if not the greatest American filmmaker of all time) has now been nominated for the DGA six times without winning one - even though he has been awarded their lifetime achievement honor. The only way this is acceptable at the Oscars is if The Aviator does win best Picture. If that happens, and Marty never does win a best director Oscar that puts him in the same class as Hitchcock - directed one best Picture winner but never won the Director Oscar.

27 Days and counting.
