Natalie Portman’s All-Male Directors Category Remark Prompts Quick Reaction
Deadline Holywood ^

Natalie Portman got in a not-so-subtle jab at the lack of female representation in the Best Director category last night at the Golden Globes, and social media was quick to react.
While presenting the nominees alongside filmmaker Ron Howard, Portman noted, quite pointedly, that all of the nominees were men.
Here are the all-male nominees, she said as the names of Christopher Nolan (Dunkirk), Martin McDonagh (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), Steven Spielberg (The Post), Ridley Scott (All the Money in the World) and the eventual winner Guillermo del Toro (The Shape of Water). She did not mention it but was likely thinking the omission of Greta Gerwig for Lady Bird and Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman).
The moment sparked quick reaction on Twitter. Here are a couple of examples:
TOPICS: Culture/Society; Extended News; News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: christophernolan; goldenglobes; gretagerwig; guillermodeltoro; hollywood; martinmcdonagh; metoo; natalieportman; pattyjenkins; ridleyscott; ronhoward; stevenspielberg; twitter

I don’t care for Natalie (Herschlag) Portman, but she does have a point that “Lady Bird” really did deserve to be represented in the director category. But not because Gerwig is a woman, but because her film is such a good film.

Nice, you work your ass off making a movie and working in the industry for 30 years eating crap and when you finally win this little trollop craps all over your one moment in the sun so she can show off how “woke” she is.

Herschlag is Portman’s real name which illustrates the fact that nothing about these Hollywood types is real nor is it what it appears to be.

What is the "Golden Globes" award?
Many years ago that would have been considered a risque/sexist statement. If it still is true I may have to watch those shows...Love golden (read suntanned) globes...

Nothing shouts "Women Are Not Sex Objects!" like a $20,000 custom
teaser gown that can barely keep the girls from flopping out in public.
