The 65th annual Director's Guild Awards will be awarded Febuary 2 at the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland in Los Angeles.
Hosted by Kelsey Grammer, the show will be full of awards season favorites, including Ben Affleck for Argo and Steven Spielberg for Lincoln.
The big question: Will Affleck and Argo pull out the big W? He's picked up most of the top prizes this season and is — as of now — the one to beat at the Academy Awards on Feb. 24.
