Emmanuel Lubezki made Oscar history Sunday night when he became the first cinematographer to receive three consecutive Academy Awards.
This year, the Mexican cinematographer took home the statue for The Revenant; in 2015 he won for Birdman, and in 2014 for Gravity. This is Lubezki's second Academy Award working with director Alejandro G. Inarritu, who told the Los Angeles Times that his frequent collaborator "loves to live on the edge. If failure is not a possibility, he doesn't seem interested."
