LOS ANGELES, Jan 7 — Auteur Alfonso Cuaron picked up the third Golden Globe of his career today for directing Roma, his deeply evocative, semi-autobiographical paean to growing up in 1970s Mexico.

The filmmaker, who won earlier in the night for Best Foreign Film, saw off competition in the directing category from Bradley Cooper (A Star Is Born), Peter Farrelly (Green Book), Spike Lee (BlacKkKlansman) and Adam McKay (Vice).

Cuaron’s first Globe came in 2014 for directing Gravity. — AFP
