If you ask Emma Stone to introduce the largely-male Best Director field at the 2018 Oscars, shes going to point out the lack of gender diversity. The actress, 29, gave a short introduction, and called out the four men and Greta Gerwig who are nominated for Best Director. Gerwig, who wrote and directed Lady Bird, is only the fourth woman to receive a nomination in the category, and the first to get one for their debut film. It is the director whose indelible touch is reflected on every frame. It is the director who shot by shot, scene by scene, day by day works with every member of the crew to further the story. And it is the vision of the director that takes an ordinary movie and turns it into a work of art. These four men and Greta Gerwig created their own masterpieces this year, Stone said.

Okay.

I've never understood the logic of "Too many men succeed at this so we should make a woman who doesn't deserve it win just to pad numbers"

Isn't that sexism?

How does she know what Greta Gerwig identifies as

Calm down, Emma Stone, you participated in Aloha, whitewashing a role that could've been for an Asian polynesian.

And what's the fucking point of minimizing the achievement those male directors rather than taking aim at the Oscars committee. All the nominees deserved to be nominated.

Imagine being one of the nominees and having your achievements shit on because you aren't the right gender.

Not to mention two of those four men were people of color. But yaaas slay /s

She also made a film with Woody Allen. Just sayin'

Doesnt she have some Japanese period drama to prepare for?
---

Next year they should just nominate everyone.
---

She wins one Oscar and suddenly she thinks she's entitled.

Replace men with any race or ethnic group. See how that sounds I guess a Mexican winning the award doesnt count towards her agenda though. Cause everyone knows it is white Jewish women that are the ones discriminated against like Natalie Portman said. Cause her difficult life doesnt compare to someone like Guillermo Del toro

In what way was that context inflammatory?

You know what's funny is that all this nonsense about equal representation and whatnot was in response to the "Oscars so white" thing... which was the year this absolutely amazing speech happened:

Think there were any speeches like that last night? Or the year before? Nope... just nonsense about being represented and how women have rights...
