Alejandro G. Iñárritu Wins Best Directing

[@arock1234]

sort of speaks to what his speech was about, no?

[@axr7149]

It should be noted that whenever a person wins 3 Oscars in one night (which Inarritu accomplished with BIRDMAN the year before), they usually never win another Oscar again (Billy Wilder, Francis Ford Coppola and more have won a huge number of Oscars (6 and 5 respectively in those 2 cases), including 3 in a single night, but all of their other wins PRECEDED their "3 in 1 night" feat, with the win streak ending once the latter feat was accomplished). Inarritu is the FIRST - and to date ONLY - person in Academy history to win a follow-up Oscar AFTER winning 3 in one night.

[@AngelofMusic04]

***** Oh, for fuck's sake... Any shared similarities between each of his scripts are general archetypes, at best, something numerous screenwriters put focus on in their writings (look at how many Oscars Woody Allen has for screenwriting when a number of his ideas are interchangeable): the idea of revenge for personal reasons and revenge for profit, the abject treatment of minorities who eventually push back and punish those who've deemed them irrelevant to culture, etc etc etc. "Pulp Fiction" is a tale of eclectic villains who eventually fight one another to stay on top of their game. "Kill Bill" is about one woman embracing her femininity and her role as a mother through violence against those who forced her hand. "Inglourious Basterds" is about the hellish effect war has on EVERYONE from soldiers to civilians (in that movie, everyone is an "inglourious bastard." And "The Hateful Eight" is about how America failed all of its people and the need to find equality, which is especially relevant today given the social turmoil amongst questionable cops and African Americans. Yeah, TOTALLY copies of "Pulp Fiction".

Andrey Tarkovsky and Terrence Mallick should have been given honorary Oscars that year.
