Ava DuVernay and David Oyelowo on their journey to 'Selma'

FILE - In this Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2014 file photo, Ava DuVernay, left, director of the film "Selma," and cast member David Oyelowo pose together at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles. With her confident direction, “Selma,” which opens wide on Jan. 9, 2015, gives audiences a layered look at Dr. King, (played by Oyelowo) the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the campaign leading up to the historic 54-mile march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. (Photo by Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP, File) LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ava DuVernay doesn't like historical dramas — especially those of the civil rights variety. Their conventions, their sentimentality, their lack of texture or edginess, and their insistence on either hero worship or takedown just aren't her style.
