Natalie Portman Called Out All-Male Directors

From Cosmopolitan

When Natalie Portman and Ron Howard presented Guillermo del Toro with the 2018 Golden Globe for Best Director, Natalie couldn't resist giving everyone in a quick reminder just who was missing from the category at large. Here a hint: the nominees were winner del Toro for The Shape of Water, Martin McDonagh for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Christopher Nolan for Dunkirk, Ridley Scott for All the Money in the World, and Steven Spielberg for The Post. Can you spot it?

The category is all-male, which some felt was a snub to Greta Gerwig and her work directing Lady Bird.

Natalie Portman wasn't about to let the Hollywood Foreign Press Association get away with excluding women from the historically male-dominated category (Barbra Streisand is the only woman to have won the category, for Yentl in 1984), so she referred to the nominees as "the all-male nominees" before naming the men who were honored.

In a night that focused on women while having them absent from certain prestigious categories, her comment made sure to remind everyone about the disparity in opportunity between men and women when it comes to some of Hollywood's best and most visible jobs.
