Peter Jackson may have just got his biggest boost yet, as he has just been selected by the Directors Guild of America as the year’s best director for his work on The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
He was given the award Saturday night at the Century Plaza Hotel from Rob Marshall, who won last year for Chicago.
While the taste of victory is sweet it is no doubt in everyone’s mind now that Jackson is definitely the front-runner for the nod come Oscar night on the 29th.
