Alfonso Cuaron has become the firm favourite to win Best Director at the Oscars following a victory at the Directors Guild Of America (DGA) Awards in Los Angeles.
The filmmaker behind Roma beat Bradley Cooper with A Star is Born, Peter Farrelly with Green Book, Spike Lee with BlacKkKlansman and Adam McKay with Vice.
However, McKay still took home an award on the evening, for the critically acclaimed television show Succession.
