Los Angeles, Jan 27 (DPA) Boosting their chances for the Oscars, Joel and Ethan Coen were named the best directors of 2007 for their film 'No Country for Old Men' by the Directors Guild of America Saturday.
The Coen brothers have received numerous critics' awards for best director and are nominated for the Oscars for best director and for adapted screenplay for their gritty contemporary Western based on the Cormac McCarthy novel.
The guild's film awards are considered pointers for the Academy Awards, scheduled for Feb 24 since there is a large overlap in the voting body.
The Directors Guild and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have disagreed only six times on their selections in the last 59 years.
