Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Upset? Martin Scorsese Triumph? Try Another Win for The Artist at Directors Guild Awards

Would The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo's David Fincher avenge his Oscar snub? Would Hugo's Martin Scorsese make a case for his film being the one to beat?

There was no game-changer (and also no Demi Moore triumph) at tonight's Directors Guild of America Awards.    

NOMINATION AFTERMATH: Who's up? Who's down?

The Artist took the top film honor for helmer Michel Hazanavicius.

The DGA recipient hasn't lost the Best Director prize at the Oscars in a decade; since 1948, the guild's pick has been denied Academy Awards glory just six times.

First-time winner Hazanavicius got his trophy the hard way: He beat DGA Award vets Fincher, Scorsese, Midnight in Paris' Woody Allen and The Descendants' Alexander Payne. All but Fincher will compete at the Oscars.

The Artist's DGA victory came one week after the black-and-white charmer's triumph at the Producers Guild, and one night before its next test at Sunday's Screen Actors Guild Awards. 

On the TV side, The Killing won for drama-series directing, while Curb Your Enthusiasm won for comedy series—and in the process thwarted Fred Savage, looking for his first win after four career nominations. Savage was up for helming an episode of Modern Family.

Moore, meanwhile, lost out on what would've been a nice way to end a bad week: a DGA Award in the TV-movies and miniseries category.

The group effort that was the Lifetime movie Five, featuring nominated directing work by Moore, Jennifer Aniston and Alicia Keys, got outpolled by The Kennedys. (One of Moore's other Five codirectors, Patty Jenkins, who won for calling the shots on the pilot of The Killing, told our own Marc Malkin that the star, despite the headlines, "was doing great.")

Here' s a rundown of the winners of the 64th Annual Directors Guild of America Awards:

Feature Film: Michel Hazanavicius, The Artist

Documentary: Project Nim

Movies for Television and Mini-Series: The Kennedys

Dramatic Series: The Killing

Comedy Series: Curb Your Enthusiasm

Musical Variety: 65th Annual Tony Awards

Reality Programs: Biggest Loser

Daytime Serials: General Hospital

Children's Programs: A Child's Garden of Poetry

Commercials: Noam Murro

10 Things You Gotta Know About Tonight's SAG Awards

The 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards are—wait for it no more—tonight!

We'll be all over the red carpet (starting at 6 p.m. ET/3 PT), so consider that the first thing you have to know about the latest stop in the awards-season tour.

As an added bonus, here are 10 more amazing facts about tonight's surprisingly influential awards gala:

GET THE LIST: All the SAG noms, all the time

1. George Clooney Is (Probably) Going to Win: We couldn't find any oddsmakers issuing odds on the SAGs, but if you operate under the assumption that the SAGs are the Oscars, and vice versa, then Clooney, the concensus favorite of professional handicappers for the Best Actor Academy Award, should be viewed as the SAG favorite, as well.

2. Meryl Streep Is (Possibly) Not Going to Win: The Oscar odds for Best Actress are tighter than they are for Best Actor. One Vegas sports book has the race between Streep and The Help's Viola Davis as a dead even heat. The bottom line for the SAG Awards? No one, not even Streep, is going to be surprised if Davis takes the Actor.

3. Octavia Spencer and Christopher Plummer Are (Definitely) Going to Win: Are the supporting-acting categories still in contention? Officially, yes. Unofficially, no. 

4. The Best Picture Race Is Going to Be Clear as Mud: Let's say The Artist or The Descendants wins the SAG ensemble award, which is the closest thing to a Best Picture tonight. What does that mean for the Oscars when Hugo, the top nominee going into next month's show, isn't even in contention tonight? Let's say The Help cleans up, as the pundits at Gold Derby predict, what does that mean for the Oscars when The Help is a hopeless Best Picture contender, having been shut out of the Best Director, screenplay and editing categories? The SAG Awards are usually a tad more clarifying.

5. Boardwalk Empire and Modern Family Are the TV Shows to Beat: That is, if last weekend's Producers Guild of America Awards are any indication. (And they are.)

6. The Harry Potter Revolution Will Not Be Televised: If you want to see the franchise compete for its first (and last) SAG nomination, then you're going to have to log onto the offical preshow webcast, offered via TNT.tv, TBS.com and People.com, at 6:15 p.m. ET/3:15 p.m. PT. That's when the stunt winners are scheduled to be announced.

7. Lisbeth Salander Will Not Be Televised (or even Webcast): The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, which pulled out a Best Actress Oscar nomination for Rooney Mara, is not up for anything on Sunday night, so stop trying to adjust your set: That really is Betty White up for all those awards.

8. Three Words: Mary. Tyler. Moore.: The beloved star, last seen feting White on the elder actress' prime-time birthday special, is set to receive the Guild's Lifetime Achievement Award. Dick Van Dyke, Moore's TV husband from The Dick Van Dyke Show, will present. (We trust Mr. Grant, Moore's office-husband from The Mary Tyler Moore Show, is OK with that.)

9. Brad Pitt and Dallas: Together Again! Well, sort of. The Moneyball nominee, who got his start looking fidgety and mullet-y on the 1980s soap, will serve as a presenter, as will J.R. Ewing's Larry Hagman, set to hype the upcoming Dallas reboot alongside Linda Gray and Patrick Duffy.

10. You Get a Do-Over: The two-hour show is scheduled to air live on TBS and TNT starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. If you miss it then, first, you should be ashamed, and, second, you should sit down because TNT will be reairing the whole shebang (10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT).

Shailene Woodley: Producers Guild Awards 2012

Shailene Woodley keeps it chic on the red carpet as she arrives at the 2012 Producers Guild Awards held at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on Saturday night (January 21) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The 20-year-old actress wore a Valentino dress with sparkly Sergio Rossi heels to the award ceremony.

Shai recently spoke to LA Confidential about how she sees acting — an extension of herself.

“That’s my favorite part of acting: just being authentically me within the restrictions of the particular character. So it was kind of a beautiful experience to be able to do that and not have to act. [The Descendants director] Alexander Payne said that when he hired us, he hired us to be ourselves and not to have us act, and that’s really refreshing,” she shared.

SAG Awards Countdown: will Harry Potter finally win something? All what?

Whether you believe it or not, such as Awards go seasons for Harry Potter films, this was quite friendly.

Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is short lists for makeup and Visual effects on the Oscars, it's score in the game for Alexandre Desplatand, you never know what miracle Tuesday morning will bring nominations.

But wait, that's not all...

 

As soon as Sunday, the franchise a real, live trophy won: Deathly Hallows: part 2, remember trick is honour for the Screen Actors Guild Awards film ensemble.

And just in time for the final Harry Potter movie, it is first SAG nomination of the Harry Potter series. In each category. Ever.

Deathly Hallows: Part 2 has been pitted against the adjustment Bureau, Cowboys & aliens, X-men: first class and, perhaps the most daunting, Transformers: dark of the moon. The transformers franchise was revenge of the fallen on the trick Award nominated previously.

Oddsmakers don't seem keen on the category call, and perhaps not only, because there is nothing, but the show's main draw - it's hard to name a few.

"Not really clear what is the criteria for the assessment is of it," says a SAG us voters. "We judge what are?" The coolest stunts? "How well the history promote it?"

Our Member SAG on the one hand is still undecided about the nomination of his voice. (Ballot are Friday.) But he has an idea about Deathly of Hallows.

"" I'll wager that they win...", says the SAG members.""It is probably the best movie of the five."

The final rub for Potter fans, is that TBS and TNT go category televize - that trick be winner will be known during Sunday's online Kurowski.

Now, you really expect that Harry Potter find an award on TV outside of MTV, you see you have?
