The Directors Guild of America honoured outstanding achievement in directing for film and television. Guillermo del Toro's The Shape Of Water won the award for Best Feature while Reed Morano walked away with the Dramatic Series nod for The Handmaid's Tale. Jordan Peele also won big with the First-Time Feature Award for Get Out. Given that Del Toro's win follows his titles at the recently held Golden Globe and PGA awards, he emerges as the frontrunner for the Best Director nod at the upcoming Oscars.
