Here are some quick takeaways: The Hollywood Foreign Press Association can't see women: Wow. WOW. Cline Sciamma. Alma Harel. Greta Gerwig. Marielle Heller. Lulu Wang. Lorene Scafaria. Olivia Wilde. Mati Diop. NONE of these women who directed some of the greatest movies in this cycle were nominated in the "Best Director" category, a major and embarrassing snub for the HFPA. Not only were they shut out from this race, but from the "Best Motion Picture" categories as well. As the LA Times points out, only male-directed films were nominated in both the drama and comedy/musical categories. The only female-directed films up for nomination in broader categories were Jennifer Lee's Frozen 2 in the animated film category and The Farewell and Portrait of a Lady on Fire in the foreign-language category. Since the uproar over the snubs this morning, the HFPA president Lorenzo Soria broke out an argument familiar to anyone who has brought up gender parity, ever. "What happened is that we dont vote by gender. We vote by film and accomplishment, Soria told Variety. Barry Adelman, an executive producer of the Globes, also said, " I also think that if you look at some of the other thingsa lot of the big television shows are created by women, so I think across the board there is a good representation." Oh shove it! In the 77-year long history of the awards ceremony, only five female directors have been nominated *Best Supporting Actor hasn't changed since 1994:* In general, the acting categories are pretty white this year (as usual), but I wanted to point this out because there are a bunch of old-head actors being nominated: Al Pacino, Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins, Joe Pesci, Tom Hanks. The 70s, 80s, 90s are alive and well my friends. Looking purely at the names in this category, it's as if the last three decades never even happened. No way an actor under 50 gave a good performance this year, nope. *Netflix has a strong showing:* The streaming giant has 17 nominations, the most of any studio. HBO is close on its tail with 15 nominations. *The "Bong Hive" is PRESENT and ready to fucking go:* It's weird how foreign-language films are boxed into a category all their own, as the best film of the year is often not in English. In any case, Bong Joon-ho's incredible Parasite is nominated in the foreign picture, screenplay, and director categories. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 <cite>Lebronwon posted [p:931371449] in Women Dire...
