"Everything Everywhere All At Once" won top honors from Hollywood's directors Saturday, as the quirky indie sci-fi movie from two relatively unknown young filmmakers upstaged more famous rivals ahead of next month's Oscars.

"What the hell? Guys, thank you so much. This has been an incredible year for our little film that somehow keeps going," said a visibly shocked Kwan. Kwan and Scheinert, collectively referred to as "Daniels," made their start directing music videos, and were previously best known for the oddball Daniel Radcliffe comedy "Swiss Army Man."
They are also considered a key Oscars predictor. Seventeen of the past 19 DGA winners have gone on to also win best director at the Academy Awards that year. Spielberg himself admitted he had been "terrified" that audiences would watch his latest, deeply personal film and respond: "So what? Your childhood wasn't all that interesting!"
Charlotte Wells won the best first-time feature award for "Aftersun," but did not attend, with Britain's BAFTAs due to take place in London less than 24 hours after the DGA gala.
