Sccorsese named best Director

Martin Scorsese won the DGA feature film award Saturday for "The Departed."

The Irish mob film overcame competition from the helmers of "Dreamgirls," "Little Miss Sunshine," "The Queen" and "Babel."

"Departed" represented Scorsese's seventh nomination for a DGA award, but he had never won previously. The guild gave him a lifetime achievement award in 2003.
