The King's Speech picks up its second major win in as many weeks, with director Tom Hooper winning the pivotal Directors Guild of America award, an honor most were predicting would go to The Social Network's David Fincher.
Despite losing the Critics Choice and the Golden Globe to The Social Network, King's Speech has had a dramatic turnaround: winning the Producers Guild, the Directors Guild, and earning the most Oscar nominations all within a seven-day stretch, it's suddenly gone from being the underdog to the frontrunner in what's fast becoming one of the most fierce Oscar seasons in recent memory. The DGA winner has gone on to win the Best Director Oscar for the past seven years.
As this news is just announced, and it's now 2:30 a.m. here on the east coast, I will be providing a full write-up in the morning that segues into the Screen Actors Guild preview.
