Overlooked by the guild were past nominees Quentin Tarantino for his slave-revenge tale "Django Unchained" and David O. Russell for his oddball romance "Silver Linings Playbook." The film that receives the Directing Guild prize typically also goes on to win the best-picture Oscar, a prize Spielberg has earned only once, for "Schindler's List." No clear front-runner has emerged yet for the Feb. 24 Oscars, with "Lincoln," "Zero Dark Thirty" and "Les Miserables" all considered strong prospects to take home Hollywood's highest honor. Sunday's Golden Globes will help sort out the Oscar picture, as will the various guild prizes that will be handed out in late January and February on the run-up to the Academy Awards. Winners for the 65th annual Directors Guild awards will be announced at a Hollywood dinner Feb. 2, with Kelsey Grammer as host for the second year in a row. Milos Forman, a two-time Directors Guild winner for "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "Amadeus," will receive the group's lifetime-achievement award. ___ Online:
