Ben Affleck won the DGA’s Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film for Argo. This was somewhat expected as the film has emerged as the frontrunner in this awards season. Nonetheless, it is surprising because Ben Affleck was not nominated for the Best Directing Oscar.
The winner for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Documentary was Malik Bendjelloul for Searching For Sugar Man.
