Nominations for the 92nd Academy Awards were announced yesterday. And for the 87th time in its history, no women directors received nominations in the Best Director category, despite 2019 producing both critically acclaimed and commercially successful films directed by multiple women. In the Best Picture category, Little Women, directed by Greta Gerwig, is the only film (among nine nominated films) directed by a woman to be nominated. In the acting categories, only one of the twenty actors nominated across four categories is a person of color. The nomination of Cynthia Erivo for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Harriet is the only reason we’re not hearing a reprise of the #OscarsSoWhite hashtag.
