Awards season is hurtling towards its glitzy finale, with the Academy Awards coming up on Sunday, February 9. But, before the golden statues are handed out, some of the industry's most notable directors came together to fete the year's best work behind the camera at the annual Directors Guild Awards. Held in Los Angeles on Saturday, January 25, the ceremony celebrated directors of both the big and small screen, handing out gongs for both film and TV work.
