Best Answer

The Mexican-born filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón won the 2013 Best Director award for his space thriller "Gravity." It was the first of three consecutive Oscars in the category that went to a director from Mexico. The 2014 and 2015 awards were won by Cuarón's good friend Alejandro G. Iñárritu, who directed "Birdman (or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)" and "The Revenant."
