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.

The DGAs are typically seen as a fairly robust indicator of who will take home the Academy Award for Best Director, having foreshadowed the accolade for the past six years.

Among the stars walking the red carpet at LA's Ritz-Carlton was New Zealand filmmaker Taika Waititi, whose Jojo Rabbit is up for several Oscars, as well as British director Sam Mendes, whose war epic 1917 has also garnered several Academy Award nods.
