The race for Oscars is turning into a real, ah, horse race. Last night at the DGA Awards, “Gravity” took away the top honor — Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film. Director, Alfonso Cuarón, picked up the award for what many consider a cinematic masterpiece. “Gravity” is about two astronauts, played by Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, struggling to survive a shuttle disaster out in space.
The sci-fi thriller is one of the front-runners for Oscars, along with “12 Years a Slave” and “American Hustle.” There is chatter that this could be the year that the top Academy Awards are split or a dark horse could swoop in grab one of the big prizes. More on Deadline.
The complete list of winners at the 66th Annual DGA Awards here. The ceremony was held at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
