 The 11th annual Director's Guild of Canada awards were handed out in Toronto last night and Hogtown homeboy David Cronenberg swept the feature film awards. The awards, hosted by Seán Cullen, were live streamed online for the first time ever. Viewers of the 2012 DGC awards saw A Dangerous Method win all five awards for which the film was eligible, including Best Feature and Best Director. Maybe Brandon will clean up next year?
