LOS ANGELES, United States (AFP) — Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro took home his first Golden Globe on Sunday for directing acclaimed fantasy romance “The Shape of Water.”

In what was deemed one of the closest categories going into the night, Del Toro beat Martin McDonagh (“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”), Christopher Nolan (“Dunkirk”), Ridley Scott (“All the Money in the World”) and Steven Spielberg (“The Post”) to the prize.
