Steven Spielberg won the Golden Globe for best director Tuesday for his very personal epic The Fabelmans.

He beat out a field of Hollywood royalty for the honor: James Cameron for Avatar: The Way of Water, Baz Luhrmann for Elvis, Martin McDonagh for comedy The Banshees of Inisherin and Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert for their quirky Everything Everywhere All at Once.
