There's no need to wait until Feb. 25 to see who will take home the best director (and probably best picture) Oscar. The Directors Guild of America awards are more than 90 percent accurate in predicting who will go on to win the best director Oscar, and since the DGA prize went to Martin Scorsese Satrday night, that makes it almost certain he'll be getting a golden statue of a bald man as a new paperweight later this month. It was Scorsese's first DGA win in seven tries. In the 58 years the DGA awards have been around, the winner has gone on to win the best directing Oscar all but six times.
