It's a two-for-one on awards results today, as this weekend has seen both the Directors Guild Awards and the BAFTAs given out. Lots to go through, so let's get started.
DIRECTORS GUILD AWARDS
On Saturday (10th April), the Directors' Guild Awards (DGA) were handed out. The film winners are:
Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Films: Chloé Zhao (Nomadland)
Outstanding Directorial Achievement of a First-Time Feature Film Director: Darius Marder (Sound Of Metal)
Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Movies for Television and Miniseries: Scott Frank (The Queen's Gambit)
Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Documentary: Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw (The Truffle Hunters)
Chloé Zhao becomes only the second woman to win the DGA's top prize (the first being Kathryn Bigelow for The Hurt Locker). This certainly bodes well for her chances of winning the Oscar in just two weeks' time.

BAFTA AWARDS
This weekend also saw the British Academy (BAFTA) Film Awards.
BAFTA did something a bit unusual this year, in that they split the event over two nights, both taking place at the Royal Albert Hall.
On Saturday (10th April), Clara Amfo hosted the first ceremony in which several "craft" awards were handed out, along with the Outstanding British Contribution To Cinema which was given to Noel Clarke (who also won the 2009 Rising Star Award). Tribute was also paid to Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, who passed away on 9th April; he was the first President of BAFTA (holding the position from 1959-1966).
The winners from the first night were:
Costume Design: Ma Rainey's Black Bottom

On Sunday (11th April), the second ceremony- where the remainder of the awards were given out- was hosted by Dermot O'Leary and Edith Bowman.
The winners from the second night were:
