Alejandro González IñárrituTemplate:Efn (born 15 August 1963) is a Mexican filmmaker primarily known for making modern psychological drama films about the human condition. His most notable films include Amores perros (2000), 21 Grams (2003), Babel (2006), Biutiful (2010), Birdman (2014), The Revenant (2015), and Bardo (2022). His projects have garnered critical acclaim and numerous accolades, including five Academy Awards.
In 2006, Iñárritu became the first Mexican filmmaker to receive the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival. Eight years later, he became the first Mexican filmmaker to be nominated as director or producer in the history of the Academy Awards, as well as the first to win for Best Original Screenplay and Best Picture. In 2019, Iñárritu served as the first Latin American president of the jury for the 72nd Cannes Film Festival.
In 2015, Iñárritu was awarded the Academy Award for Best Director for Birdman (2014) and a year later received the same award for The Revenant (2015), making him the third director to win the award back-to-back, following in the footsteps of John Ford and Joseph L. Mankiewicz. To date, he is the only director in history to have won the DGA Award for Outstanding Directing two years in a row.
Iñárritu was later awarded a Special Achievement Academy Award for his virtual reality installation Carne y Arena (2017), the first ever VR installation to be presented at the Cannes Film Festival.

But for me, there's a kind of racist undercurrent where because I'm Mexican, I'm pretentious".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> It earned a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Cinematography at the 85th Academy Awards.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In 2009, Iñárritu, along with several filmmakers and actors, signed a petition in support of director Roman Polanski, who had been detained while traveling to a film festival following his arrest in relation to his 1977 sexual abuse charges, which the petition argued would undermine the tradition of film festivals as a place for works to be shown "freely and safely", and that arresting filmmakers traveling to neutral countries could open the door "for actions of which no-one can know the effects."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
