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).
