LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Slumdog Millionaire” continued its rags-to-riches march through Hollywood’s awards season as its filmmaker, Danny Boyle, won the top honor Saturday from the Directors Guild of America.The win puts Boyle on the inside track for the same prize at the Academy Awards on Feb. 22, since the guild recipient almost always goes on to win the directing Oscar.While “Slumdog Millionaire” started as an underdog that nearly went straight to DVD, it has emerged as a potential Oscar favorite. Audiences have embraced Boyle’s tale of a poor boy rising to fame and fortune from the streets of Mumbai, and the film triumphed at the Golden Globes and Producers Guild of America Awards, while taking the prize for best ensemble cast from the Screen Actors Guild.”The Office” won the top honor for television comedy, “The Wire” took the award for TV drama and “Recount” won for TV movie.Paul Feig received the award for an installment of “The Office,” whose competition included two episodes of “30 Rock,” the series that has dominated at recent Hollywood honors.The drama series prize went to director Dan Attias for an episode from the final season of “The Wire.”Ari Forman’s “Waltz With Bashir” won the documentary award. The film, which is nominated for best foreign-language film at the Academy Awards, is director Forman’s animated study of a soldier struggling to recall suppressed memories of his involvement in the war with Lebanon.Among Hollywood’s many honors on the buildup to the Academy Awards, the Directors Guild prizes have one of the best track records for predicting eventual Oscar winners. Only six times in the guild awards’ 60-year history has the winner failed to take home the directing Oscar.
