still dont know why any of you are comparing the Hollywood foreign press to the academy but
Guillermo del Toro has been named the best feature-film director of 2017 for “The Shape of Water” by the Directors Guild of America, making the visionary filmmaker the prohibitive favorite to win Best Director at the Oscars.
Historically, the Directors Guild’s feature-film award is the most reliable of all Oscar predictors: Only seven times in the last 69 years has the DGA winner failed to win the directing Oscar.
“The Shape of Water” now becomes the 22nd movie to win the top feature-film award from both the Producers Guild and the Directors Guild. Of the first 21 to accomplish that feat, 16 went on to win the Oscar for best picture — but “Apollo 13,” “Saving Private Ryan,” “Brokeback Mountain,” “Gravity” and “La La Land” all won the PGA and DGA but fell short at the Oscars.
The win for del Toro also marks the fourth time in the last five years that the award has gone to one of the three Mexican-born directors who are close friends and have become known as the Three Amigos: Alfonso Cuaron won for “Gravity” in 2014, while Alejandro G. Inarritu won for “Birdman” in 2015 and “The Revenant” in 2016. :inarritu:
Jordan Peele was named the year’s best first-time director for his acclaimed horror thriller “Get Out.”

Way better film than the shape of garbage water.
