The Golden Globes, despite being a celebrated event, is usually under fire for not being equal to all genders in its nominations. The same has happened this year as well.
Over the course of its 75 years lifetime, Golden Globes have nominated women only seven times. This was even called out by actress Natalie Portman, who while appearing at the function as a presenter, referred to the nominees specifically as "all-male nominees".
Even this year, the best director nominees included Bong Joon Ho, Sam Mendes, Todd Phillips, Martin Scorsese, and Quentin Tarantino. Audiences called out the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for ignoring potential female filmmakers this year. Some of these names included Greta Gerwig, Marielle Heller, Lulu Wang, and Lorene Scafaria.
Fans took to Twitter to express their displeasure at the women directors being snubbed out while also calling out the association for continuing their tradition of overlooking female directors.
In the year of Fleabag, Killing Eve, Little Women, When They See Us, Booksmart, Harriet, Hustlers, Late Night and many more... No lady writers. No lady directors. Again. #GoldenGlobe https://t.co/dO13bRGqU6 — Caitlin D. Fryers (@cdemrys) December 9, 2019
Speaking of women directors not winning ...I’m already thinking if Patty Jenkins doesn’t win next year for #WW84’s trailer ALONE something is very systemically wrong WRONG as there already is #GoldenGlobe — Renzo (@LPerryy) December 10, 2019
