Guillermo del Toro is one of the most respected filmmakers of Latin America, and due to his genius as a director, he has also earned a very special place in the heart of Hollywood.

The Rise of Guillermo del Toro

Ever since he was a teenager, he began to place himself behind a camera lens, and since then he hasn’t stopped directing exceptional films.

He has also been fortunate to direct animated films. In fact, in 2022 he premiered the film Pinocchio, a stop-motion film that has appeared as one of the favourites for the upcoming Oscar Awards.

Pinocchio premiered in cinemas and then in Netflix, one of the most popular streaming platforms of the world, and it has been greatly received from its first week.

Many people believe that Guillermo del Toro will be nominated again in the 2023 Academy Awards, and that he could very well win another golden statuettes due to his masterful direction of Pinocchio.
