Golden Globes Shatters Diversity Record: 4 of 10 Best Picture Nominees Have Non-White Directors
The Wrap ^ | 12/6/2018 | Thom Geier

In a record for diversity at the annual Golden Globes Awards, four of the 10 nominees in the two Best Picture categories this year have non-white directors.

Spike Lee’s “BlacKkKlansman,” Ryan Coogler’s “Black Panther,” Barry Jenkins’ “If Beale Street Could Talk” all were recognized in the Best Picture-Drama category, while John M. Chu’s “Crazy Rich Asians” made the cut in the Best Picture – Comedy or Drama competition.

Of these, only Lee received a nomination for Best Director, where he was joined by the Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón for “Roma” — which as a foreign-language film was not eligible in the Globes’ Best Picture – Drama category.

The other directing nominees are Bradley Cooper for “A Star Is Born,” Peter Farrelly for “Green Book” and Adam McKay for “Vice.”

Last year, Guillermo del Toro’s “The Shape of Water” and Jordan Peele’s “Get Out” were both recognized in the top drama and comedy categories, respectively. Del Toro wound up winning the directing prize, though “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” and “Lady Bird” took the picture prizes.

Because the MOST important thing about movie-making is DIVERSITY, right? Maybe that’s why movies aren’t making back the money invested.......just a thought.

Well, how could it be otherwise? It is racist for white people to be nominated or to win.

Another awards show that is nothing but an orgy of privileged Communists engaged in Trump bashing and of his normal American supporters.

There’s got to be a lot of pissed off white and Jew directors in Hollywood.

Liberals in their fanaticism for diversity have become anti-white. It’s the same way with genders. To be pro-woman they think they must be anti-male, and they are. Star Wars, for example. To make women look strong they had to make the men look weak. What does that really say about women?

Wow! Pandering to the entire world!

Must be a new pandering record!

None of the nominees need bother themselves thinking they were nominated on merit.

Yeah, and if you're busy 'shattering diversity records' you certainly aren't busy focusing on the merit of the work.

If ever I injure my eye, I sure hope the surgeon, black, white, purple or red, was hired based on his merit rather than his diversity, whatever that is.
