Inside the DGA Awards: Alfonso Cuaron Wins, Steven Soderbergh Gets a Surprise

The "Gravity" director topped the 66th annual event, which featured appearances by Sandra Bullock, Tom Hanks and Bradley Cooper.
The 66th annual Directors Guild of America (DGA) Awards unfolded in four-and-a-half hours on Saturday, Jan. 25, with a few surprises, several standing ovations and the top honor going to Gravity director Alfonso Cuaron.

Cuaron was announced as the final winner of the night, but each of the five nominated film directors -- Cuaron, Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave), David O. Russell (American Hustle), Paul Greengrass (Captain Phillips) and Martin Scorsese (Wolf of Wall Street) -- was honored with a presentation and a medallion at different points throughout the night.
