Alfonso Cuaron wins at Directors Guild for 'Roma,' Cooper empty-handed

Alfonso Cuaron was named best director by his peers on Saturday for his semi-autobiographical film "Roma," cementing his front-runner status ahead of the Oscars in three weeks time.

"Glass" added another $9.5 million, enough to top box office charts as newcomer "Miss Bala," a drug-cartel drama starring Gina Rodriguez misfired with $6.7 million from 2,203 venues. With this weekend's bounty, "Glass" has made $88 million in North America. Rapper 21 Savage being held unfairly, attorneys claim

Attorneys for rapper 21 Savage, who was taken into custody in Atlanta on immigration charges over the weekend, said on Monday that he had been arrested based on incorrect information about his criminal record and should be released while awaiting court proceedings. The entertainer, whose real name is Sha Yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, was arrested on Sunday by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents over accusations that he had overstayed his visa by more than a decade. He came to the United States from Britain in 2005, officials said.
