Alejandro Inarritu’s bloody frontier thriller "The Revenant" landed an upset win at the 73rd annual Golden Globe Awards, taking best film, best director and best actor for Leonardo DiCaprio.

A year after Inarritu’s "Birdman" took top honors at the Academy Awards, his follow-up swept three of the top awards at the Globes on Sunday.

Inarritu added best director, besting the favored Ridley Scott, director of the science-fiction survival tale "The Martian." That film, however, won best film comedy and best actor in a comedy for Matt Damon.
