This is like when Scorsese won Best Director for The Departed.
really happy for Cuaron, just hope he doesn't take 7 years to release his next film
He had a lot of the same problems with this film that Aronofsky had with The Fountain. Not his fault.

Personally liked Children of Men more than Gravity, but very much happy for Cuarón.

He is an immensely talented director.

McConaughey for best actor and I would settle for 12 years as best movie (although I think I like Dallas Buyers club more)

I knew it. If a Director gets a DGA ward, they are locked in to get Best Director.

Yep, that's usually how it goes. There are a couple exceptions (like last year), but most of the time it's pretty clear.

And the DGA award is also the most reliable way of predicting Best Picture, which is why the smart money has been on Gravity winning BP and BD. We'll see what happens.

Gravity was a great SciFi thriller with absolutely nothing grounded in SciFact. It did look beautiful.. can't take that away from it.
