He was a surprise winner over a strong field of nominees which included the favourite David Fincher (The Social Network), as well as Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan), Christopher Nolan (Inception) and David O'Russell (The Fighter). David Fincher left the ceremony immediately after Hooper's name was announced as the winner.
For some such as Richard Corliss of Time Magazine and Sasha Stone at Awards Daily, this is a terrible travesty. But as I pointed out when The King's Speech won at the PGA Awards, it is the critics that were wrong and now the industry/guild awards are finally getting it right.
The Documentary winner was Charles Ferguson for Inside job. Accepting his award, Ferguson said “It’s a pretty ballsy, out-there movie. It didn’t make me too many friends in the investment banking community.”
For television, the winners included Mick Jackson Temple Grandin (TV Movie/Mini-series), Martin Scorsese for Boardwalk Empire (Drama series), and Michael Spiller for Modern Family (Comedy series). Interestingly, another award show was the winner of the Musical Variety category. Glenn Weiss won for his work on the 64th Annual Tony Awards.
