J. A. Bayona
4 films
Every one of the four features J. A. Bayona has directed brought him the Spanish academy's directing award. His first, The Orphanage of 2007, won him best new director at the 2008 ceremony; then the best director category came to him three times, in 2013 for The Impossible, in 2017 for A Monster Calls and in 2024 for Society of the Snow. The order is the same in all four: nominated, then won. On the last of them the institution's record names him twice more, as one of the producers in the best film nomination and as a co-writer in the adapted screenplay nomination; neither of those two converted.
