LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mexican director Alejandro Inarritu has won the top feature film directing award from the Directors Guild of America for his work on "The Revenant."
Inarritu won the same award last year for this direction of "Birdman," a film about the struggles of a Hollywood actor.
Inarritu competed against Tom McCarthy ("Spotlight"), Adam McKay ("The Big Short"), George Miller ("Mad Max: Fury Road") and Ridley Scott ("The Martian").
The annual Directors Guild of America Awards can herald the eventual Oscar winners in the best director and picture categories.
