The Winners Of The 68th Annual Directors Guild Of America Awards

The 68th annual Directors Guild of America Awards have just concluded with Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu winning the guild’s top prize for his brilliant work on The Revenant and that has officially made him the new frontrunner for the Best Director Oscar as the winner here goes on to win the Oscar about 90% of the time.

Inarritu becomes the first director ever to win the DGA’s Feature Film award twice in a row but this might just be the beginning for him as time has proven that the DGA winner is popular enough to go on to win the corresponding Oscar and this would mean that Inarritu would be the first director to win the Best Director Oscar twice in a row in over 60 years.
