The Directors Guild of America has moved the location of its annual awards in solidarity with workers at the Century Plaza Hotel who are engaged in contentious contract talks with management at the Century City venue.

The guild's 57th annual awards will take place at the Beverly Hilton. The originally scheduled date of Jan. 29 remains the same. Feature nominees will be announced Jan. 6.

Citing similar concerns, the Producers Guild of America last week moved its Jan. 22 awards ceremony from the Century Plaza to Culver Studios. The Writers Guild of America also is looking at other venues because its Feb. 19 show is still set for the Century Plaza. The hotel workers union and management at nine luxury hotels have sparred over salary, health care and other contract provisions.
