Alejandro Inarritu has won the top
prize at the Directors Guild of America (DGA) awards for The Revenant,
adding weight to his chances at the Oscars.
The Revenant, starring Leonardo Di Caprio as a frontiersman fighting for survival, leads the Oscars race with 12 nominations, including best director.
Alejandro Inarritu is now the first director to win back-to-back DGA awards after also triumphing for Birdman in 2015
The DGA is the industry's leading group of film and TV directors and its opinion carries a lot of weight.
To date, there have been only seven occasions when the DGA winner has not then won the subsequent Academy Award.
