George Miller (filmmaker)

George Miller (born 3 March 1945) is an Australian filmmaker. He is best known for creating the ''Mad Max'' franchise, whose second and fourth installments, ''Mad Max 2'' and ''Fury Road'', have been hailed as two of the greatest action films of all time, with ''Fury Road'' winning six Academy Awards. Miller is very diverse in genre and style, having also directed the biographical medical drama ''Lorenzo's Oil'', the dark fantasy ''The Witches of Eastwick'', and the Academy Award-winning animated film ''Happy Feet,'' produced the family-friendly fantasy adventure ''Babe'', and directed the sequel ''Babe: Pig in the City.''

Miller is a co-founder of the production houses Kennedy Miller Mitchell, formerly known as Kennedy Miller, and Dr. D Studios. His younger brother Bill Miller and Doug Mitchell have been producers on almost all the films in Miller's later career, since the death of his original producing partner Byron Kennedy.

In 2006, Miller won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature for ''Happy Feet'' (2006). He has been nominated for five other Academy Awards: Best Original Screenplay in 1992 for ''Lorenzo's Oil'', Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay in 1995 for ''Babe'', and Best Picture and Best Director for ''Fury Road'' in 2015.
