There were no female directors among the 2023 Oscar nominees
Only men will compete for the award.
The other day, the organizers of the Oscars ceremony announced the list of nominees in all directions.
Experts immediately drew attention to one curious thing. In 2023, there will be no female nominees at the ceremony.
For the title of best director will compete exclusively representatives of the stronger sex - Martin McDonagh, Steven Spielberg, Ruben Ostlund, Todd Field, as well as the tandem of Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.
Although the extended nomination was attended by Gina Prince-Bythewood and her “Woman King” and Maria Schrader with the Harvey Weinstein-exposing drama “Her Truth”. But none of them made it to the final list.
From a professional point of view, it is hardly possible to discern an infringement on the basis of gender. However, activists from the Women In Film organization have already expressed their outrage in the spirit of "nothing changes".
This is to the fact that Hollywood has long been accused of the fact that they consider directorial work to be the business of men.
