Biography

Alejandro González Iñárritu (born August 15, 1963) is a Mexican filmmaker, primarily known for making psychological drama films about the human condition. His films Amores Perros (2000) and Biutiful (2010) each received nominations for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film, and be earned critical and commercial success for his films 21 Grams (2003) and Babel (2006). For Birdman (2014), he personally won three Academy Awards (Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay). The following year he again won Best Director for The Revenant (2015), making him the third director to win back-to-back after John Ford and Joseph L. Mankiewicz. Iñárritu was later awarded a Special Achievement Academy Award for his virtual reality installation Carne y Arena (2017).

Iñárritu became the first Mexican filmmaker to be nominated as director or producer in the Academy Awards' history and the first to win for Best Original Screenplay and Best Picture. He was the first Mexican filmmaker to receive the Best Director Award at Cannes, and the first to win a DGA Award for Outstanding Directing. In 2019, Iñárritu became the first Latin American to serve as jury president for the 72nd Cannes Film Festival. Iñárritu and Mexican filmmakers Alfonso Cuarón and Guillermo del Toro are known in the film industry as "The Three Amigos."
