Happy 73rd birthday to George Miller, the creator and director of the Mad Max franchise, hailed as containing some of the greatest action scenes of all time. The Greek-Australian film director, screenwriter–and former medical doctor–also created some of the sweetest films for children and families, including two Academy Award-winners, Babe and Happy Feet. (1945)
In 2006, Miller won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature for Happy Feet. He has been nominated for five other Academy Awards: Best Original Screenplay for Lorenzo’s Oil, Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay for Babe. (See all his films on Amazon)
At last year’s 2016 Oscars, Mad Max Fury Road earned Miller nominations for Best Picture and Best Director, and took home six Academy Awards for its excellent production quality: Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Film Editing, Best Sound Editing, and Best Sound Mixing.
