LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The winners of the 2006 Directors Guild of America Outstanding Directorial Achievement Awards and the recipients of the Guild's 2007 Career Achievement Awards were announced tonight during the 59th Annual DGA Awards Dinner at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles. Martin Scorsese won the DGA's Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film for The Departed.
Following the welcome from DGA President Michael Apted to an audience of more than 1,600 guests, Actor/Director/Comedian Carl Reiner hosted the Awards ceremony for the twentieth time. Presenters included: Alan Arkin and Steve Carrell (Little Miss Sunshine), Maria Bello (World Trade Center), Director Guillermo del Toro, Leonardo DiCaprio (The Departed), Aaron Eckhart (The Black Dahlia), America Ferrera (Ugly Betty), ABC News Anchor Charles Gibson, Director Walter Hill (Broken Trail), Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives), Steve Martin (The Pink Panther), Mary McDonnell (Battlestar Galactica), Dame Helen Mirren (The Queen), Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer), DGA Second Vice President Ed Sherin, Leelee Sobieski (The Wicker Man), Director Steven Spielberg (Munich), Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and Chandra Wilson (Grey's Anatomy).
The DGA's Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film has traditionally served as a near-perfect barometer for the Academy Award for Best Director. Only six times since the DGA Award's inception in 1949 has the winner not gone on to receive the Academy Award for Best Director. (see list at the end of this release)
