I'm astonished at Hollywood's love for The Day of the Locust, to the point that they're doing a whole performance art recreation of it
The supreme irony of using the Golden Globes of all things to take a stand, or even the Oscars is ASTONISHING

I think a lot of people who were surprised or upset that Greta Gerwig or Dee Rees didn't need receive a nomination may argue that they deserved some recognition because their films have been strong contenders for best picture awards, not simply because of their gender. Patty Jenkins on the other hand isn't being talked about as much because Wonder Woman is not up for many awards. So the argument that there weren't any 'worthy' women this year is pretty baseless.Bacon wrote:Portman was baked af
Also I'm all for more women directors in the industry but a director shouldn't get nominated simply because she's a woman and that was clearly the opinion people were having at the ceremony. I'd rather be nominated for being one of the best directors rather than getting handed a nom for my gender.
Edit: And as someone else on here noted, Guillermo winning was a major highlight for me as well. The way he accepted his award was fantastic, especially pointing out the contribution of strong female leads in his work.
Del Toro accepted it with class and successfully shut the music down like a champ.
Women aren't denied the opportunity of being directors anymore than men are. Where's the evidence for that? Such a shallow and meaningless argument to say "sexism because there are less women!!!". Also, men have children, but they aren't impregnated for 9 months, they don't breastfeed for 2 years, and they don't generally fill the role of caretaker.Ruth wrote:I'm sure if a male decided to become a nurse, he wouldn't be denied such an opportunity, and there are plenty of male teachers out there
2) yea and men don't have children and family, only women do

The result of the current toxic climate. People don't want to listen to reason. Every accused is guilty until proven innocent.£Michaelf2225 wrote:i can't believe people are still trying to paint Allen as somehow equal to Weinstein, Singer, Spacey, etc.

I doubt many in these circles are saints.
Any proof to any of these accusations? How do we know people are not just trying to teardown Franco while so many other famous powerful Hollywood people are being exposed?
