Directors Guild Award

As a follow-up of Golden Globe and PGA, Ang Lee, the director of "Brokeback Mountain" won the prestigious Directors Guild of America prize Saturday night, making him the clear favorite for the Academy Award as best director. "I think we're all winners. We're blessed that we're filmmakers. What a life," said Lee, who received his award from two-time DGA winner Ron Howard. It was the second Directors' Guild award for Lee, who also won the award five years ago for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

Clint Eastwood received the DGA`s Lifetime Achievement Award.
Accepting the award, Eastwood said: "Maybe we can call this a mid-Lifetime Achievement Award - I have no immediate plans to hang things up. It's a very humbling experience to be on that list. It's so awesome for me to look back on those fellows who inspired me."
