DGA Awards: Alejandro Iñárritu Makes History with The Revenant Win

The Revenant put another awards notch in its belt on the way to the Oscars, when Alejandro Iñárritu took home the top prize at the Directors Guild of America Awards on Saturday. He became the first director to score back-to-back wins in the feature film category (after last year's victory for Birdman) in the DGA's 80-year history.

The win also bodes well for Iñárritu's chances at a back-to-back directing Oscar as well. The DGA feature-film winner has also won the Best Directing Oscar in nine of the last 10 years; Ben Affleck's Argosnub in 2013 is the exception. John Ford is the only other director in Oscar history to win two consecutive awards with A Letter to Three Wives (1949) and All About Eve (1950).

Orange Is the New Black, Spotlight top SAG awards

If The Revenant lands top prize on Oscar night as well, Iñárritu would become the first person ever to take home back-to-back directing and Best Picture trophies. With the guilds being split though (Producers went to The Big Short and SAG Ensemble went to Spotlight), this year's Best Picture is anyone's guess.

On the TV side of things, HBO reigned supreme at the DGAs, notching Directorial Achievement in a Drama (for the Game of Thrones season finale), a Comedy (for the Veepseason finale), and for a TV movie/Miniseries (Bessie) respectively. Check out the full winner's list below.
