Alfonso Cuarón Gets One Step Closer to Oscars Glory With DGA Awards Win

Netflix is surely one very happy streaming company thanks to the results of the Directors Guild of America Awards, with Alfonso Cuarón narrowly beating out some stiff competition to win the Feature Film honor for his Mexican class drama Roma — defeating A Star Is Born’s Bradley Cooper, Green Book’s Peter Farrelly, BlacKkKlansman’s Spike Lee, and Vice’s Adam McKay. Also earning the coveted First-Time Feature Film Award was none other than Eighth Grade’s Bo Burnham, whose dramedy poignantly captured the middle school experience for an awkward teenage girl. Adam McKay, meanwhile, earned the Dramatic Series award for his work on Succession, while newbie director Bill Hader won the Comedic Series award for Barry. Read all of the DGA winners and nominees below, as the big Oscars evening continues to inch closer.
