And just like that, we’ve got a new front-runner. After previously notching an unexpected win at the Producers Guild Award, The King’s Speech continued on its guild rampage, with first-time nominee Tom Hooper winning Best Feature Film Director last night, leaving previous favorite David Fincher with nothing. And as you will hear ad nauseum today, only six times in the past has the DGA Award winner not won the Academy Award for Best Director, most recently in 2002 when Rob Marshall won for Chicago , but Roman Polanski went on to win the Oscar for The Pianist . Will The King’s Speech make it a guild hat trick and win big tonight at the Screen Actors Guild Awards? Full list of winners after the break. [ Deadline ]
