Can you believe that only two American women have ever been nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Director category?
Two. Awards are too often lazily used as some sort of actual shorthand barometer of quality and consensus—Jesus, people,
Crash won, which should have eliminated that notion forever—but still: Two? John Singleton has been nominated for Best Director. M. Night Shyamalan has been nominated for Best Director.
Roberto freaking Benigni has been nominated for Best Director. In the history of the Oscars, in the history of movies, only
two American woman have received Best Director nominations? Apparently all Oscar voters are Tucker Max. (I was going to make a
Mad Men reference there, but
I didn't want to upset Scocca.)
