Danny Boyle, director of Slumdog Millionaire, won the Directors Guild of America award Saturday night. It was the first time Boyle has been nominated for the award.
Boyle beat out fellow nominees David Fincher (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), Gus Van Sant (Milk), Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight) and Ron Howard (Frost/Nixon).
After taking this prize and the Golden Globe for “Best Director,” it seems Danny Boyle is the man to beat on February 22 at the Oscars. The DGA Award has matched the Academy Award for “Best Director” all but six times since 1948 when the guild started presenting awards. It was a well-deserved win for the British director.
I picked Slumdog over Dark Knight as my favorite film of the year for a reason. Christopher Nolan is my favorite director working today, but Boyle has proven he can conquer any genre with solid, underrated films. He made a name for himself with Trainspotting,...

The Little Movie That Could can do no wrong. Danny Boyle was handed the DGA Award for outstanding directorial achievement in feature film for "Slumdog Millionaire."
Boyle walked away with the honor Saturday night during the DGA's annual awards ceremony at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel. David Fincher ("The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"), Gus Van Sant ("Milk"), Christopher Nolan ("The Dark Knight") and Ron Howard ("Frost/Nixon"), who won the award in 1995 and 2001, also were nominated.
It was Boyle's first DGA nomination.
"If I can get here, you can get here," Boyle said from the podium, with the presenting Coen brothers behind him. "Dream hard."
It's been a miracle year for Boyle, the 52-year-old British director of "Shallow Grave," "Trainspotting," "A Life Less Ordinary," "The Beach," "28 Days Later...," "Millions" and "Sunshine." He's already been named the year's best director by several critics groups and took the top...

- The biggest question prior to the Oscars is: How much of an underdog can Slumdog Millionaire really be when it's winning major honors at the Globes, Producer's Guilds, and has ten Oscar noms to go along with it? Danny Boyle claimed the top prize which also includes Unit Production Manager: Sanjay Kumar, First Assistant Director: Raj Acharya, Second Assistant Director: Avani Batra and Second Second Assistant Director: Sonia Nemawarkar. Sticking to the film categories, Ari Folman can overcome his Cannes win snub with yet added another win for Waltz with Bashir.
