Dark comedy "Birdman" got another pre-Oscars boost, winning the top prize at the Directors Guild of America honors as Hollywood gears up for the all-important Academy Awards this month. Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu was crowned best director at the climax of the DGA show, barely two weeks before the Oscars on February 22. The 51-year-old's success repeated that of fellow Mexican Alfonso Cuaron, who won the DGA top prize last year for "Gravity," and went on to win the Best Director prize at the Oscars. "I never expected to be here talking to you tonight," Inarritu told his fellow filmmakers gathered at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza hotel in Century City.
