This time, it was the Directors Guild of America awards, which have a good history of predicting the big winners for the Academy Awards, though not quite as strong an indicator as the PGA awards. So, this makes things a bit more confusing, considering that the PGA sided withAdam McKay’s funny, envelopingThe Big Shortand the DGA gave its major win toAlejandro Gonzalez Inarritulast night forThe Revenant, the second in a row for the Mexican auteur following last year’s far more aggravatingBirdman....
