Directors guild sets Jan. 25 for 2014 awards show

Gear up Hollywood award trackers, January is going to be an even busier month next year.

The Directors Guild of America announced Wednesday that the 66th DGA Awards will be held on Saturday, Jan. 25, 2014, at the Ray Dolby Ballroom at the Hollywood & Highland Center in Los Angeles.
