context_page_description: The Ariel Award for Best Actor is an award presented by the Academia Mexicana de Artes y Ciencias Cinematográficas in Mexico. It is given in honor of an actor who has delivered an outstanding performance in a leading role while working within the Mexican film industry. In 1947, the 1st and 2nd Ariel Awards were held, with Domingo Soler and David Silva winning for the films La Barraca and Campeón Sin Corona, respectively. With the exception of the years 1959 to 1971, when the Ariel Awards were suspended, the award has been given annually. Nominees and winners are determined by a committee formed every year consisting of academy members, previous winners and individuals with at least two Ariel nominations; the committee members submit their votes through the official AMACC website.
  Since its inception, the award has been given to 48 actors. Damián Alcázar has received the most awards in this category with five Ariels and also is the most nominated performer with eight nominations; Arturo de Córdova and Pedro Infante follow with seven nominations each. Actors Pedro Armendáriz and Pedro Armendáriz, Jr., father and son, also won the award for Best Actor.
