Jan 9 2006
George Clooney will battle it out with the likes of Steven Spielberg and Ang Lee for the Director's Guild of America's award for best director.
The coveted prize is seen as a good indicator of who will win the best director Oscar later in the year, with 51 of the last 57 winners going onto to take home the Academy Award.
Clooney has been nominated for political thriller 'Good Night and Good Luck', while Lee is up for 'Brokeback Mountain', the western that is currently packing audiences in at cinemas across the UK.
Spielberg, who has been nominated a previous nine times, is up for 'Munich', his controversial account of the aftermath of the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics.
The other two directors nominated in the category are Paul Haggis for race drama 'Crash' and Bennett Miller for period biopic 'Capote'.
The winner will be announced on January 28.
