Kathryn Bigelow has been honoured with the top prize at the Directors' Guild of America Awards for her gritty war drama The Hurt Locker. One of her prime competitors for the awards was her ex-husband James Cameron, whose Avatar is doing famously at various awards and theatres across the world. Other nominees for the award included Lee Daniels (Precious based on the novel Push by Sapphire), Jason Reitman (Up in the Air) and Quentin Tarantino (Inglourious Basterds).
