It's so insane and impressive that Alejandro Iñárritu won back to back Oscars.
Estoy feliz por ellos, orgullo mexicano y latino <3

Nice guys don’t support Roman Polanski.
The other two tries but they're just ok directors.
I bet HBO's rethinking their pass on Del Toro's proposal of an adaptation of Naoki Urasawa's Monster now. They could've had an amazing series, and directed by an ~Oscar winner~ too. I'm forever bitter.
