The Ariel Award for Best Director (officially known as the Ariel Award for Best Directing) is an award presented annually by the Mexican Academy of Film Arts and Sciences (AMACC). It is given in honor of a film director who has exhibited outstanding directing while working in the film industry. In 1947, the 1st and 2nd Ariel Awards were held, with Roberto Gavaldón and Emilio "El Indio" Fernández winning for the films La Barraca and Enamorada, respectively. From the next year to date, this award has been celebrated annually, with the exception of the years 1958 to 1972, as the awards were suspended.[1] Nominees and winners are determined by a committee formed every year consisting of academy members (active and honorary), previous winners and individuals with at least two Ariel nominations; the committee submit their votes through the official AMACC website.[2]
In 1953, filmmakers Luis Buñuel, Alfredo B. Crevenna and Gavaldón were nominated, but no winner was declared.[3] Carlos Carrera and Fernández hold the record for most wins in the category, with four each.[3] Carerra's El Crimen del Padre Amaro was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2003.[4] Since 1976, Felipe Cazals has been nominated at least once every decade, winning three times for El Año de la Peste (1980), Bajo la metralla (1984), and Las Vueltas del Citrillo (2006).[3] Buñuel and Amat Escalante won the Ariel for Best Director and the same award at the Cannes Film Festival for Los Olvidados and Heli, respectively.[5] Alejandro González Iñárritu was awarded the Ariel for Amores Perros, and also received the Academy Award for Best Director for Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) and The Revenant.[6][7] Since its inception, the award has been given to 37 directors. As of the 2016 ceremony, David Pablos is the most recent winner in this category for his work on Las Elegidas.
